I'm such a LUCKY girl!!!!

It's almost another birthday for me....I'm not so sure I LIKE that bigger number but then, not much I can do about it either!  My family surprised me with a WONDERFUL early birthday gift!  Here's the firsts result

See all of the small squares?  They are actually 2 1/2" squares and I cut them with my NEW Accuquilt Go Cutter!  SO much fun and much quicker and easier on my hands than the old way.  It's really FUN to cut with the cutter (more photos of the actual cutter in action I'm hoping for tomorrow) and it's surely something I wouldn't have purchased for myself! 

Big THANK YOU's and loving hugs to my family for the wonderful gift!  Jamie and Ernie, Mike and Peggy, Mom, Cathy and Gary, Carin, and Mindy and Kyle!  I love you all!!!  I'm now pulling out LOTS of fabrics to cut more squares and half-triangles.  No telling just how much trouble I might be able to get into!!

This pattern is called Jacob's Ladder - I'm loving it!  The black with pink dots is the left-overs from a quilt I made for Marianne's 60th birthday - we're not saying how old she is today!!!  Anyway, it's really girly and I love it!

And, of course, Beau had to be in the center of the quilt!  He loves all of my tops as they are finished!  Time for a haircut Beau!!!
