(NOTE: The above is NOT my quilt. It is a picture of what my quilt will hopefully someday resemble. The picture is from page 53 of the August 2008 issue of McCall's Quilting magazine and was designed by Beth Hayes, machine quilted by Asta Dorsett and called Summer at Mom's)
This started out as a project for the HGTV message boards where a group of us are joining forces in support to lose weight. Face it, quilting isn't exactly a physically active hobby and as the quilts grow, often too do the bottoms of the quilters. So, as a reward and incentive, we have each set a quilting related thing to correspond to each pound lost.
This was supposed to be mine, with each pound lost being represented by each block made. So far I've lost six pounds and made three blocks. But, while I wasn't looking, this project got hijacked as a Christmas present. I realized this would be perfect for my mother in law. So, now it is going to be her quilt and I'll have to think of another pounds to quilts reward. Maybe a string quilt...I've been wanting to try one of those.
Here are my first three blocks.

while I do love this pinwheels quilt... I also love the idea of a string quilt for the pound shead. :) You are so nice to already make this for your sis.
