May 28 substitution --> Groovy Purse instead of
Peace Sign Granny Square
Why the substitution for this block? Well, simply -- my children inform me on almost a daily basis that if it was 'in' when I was a kid, then it is not 'in' for me when I am an adult. And seeing how I grew up with the whole greg-marcia-brady-groovy-far-out-peace-sign thing, I can not revist that or worse yet, embrace it.

Actually, I think my kids fear that I will start using 'far out!' and 'groovy!' whenever I talk to them.....or gasp! ...when their friends are over!
s
Oh, the thought of it.
May 29 Yarn Clouds Square
May 30 Kaleidoscope Blossom
I have already woven all of the ends of each block (thank you 6 hour road trip in the family van last weekend...) and now for the icing on the cake---> joining them together into a gorgeous throw.

I can't wait!

Honestly, this whole thing has been a huge uplifting endeavor. Seeing everything come together; with all of the vibrant colors; and the design of the blocks ---- well, for someone who can talk herself out of completing a project, this has been Far out! fabulous!
So very FAR OUT Dawn! What a beautiful accomplishment!

I stumbled on your site not too long ago, and I love your colors and this block a day feature. I plan on doing it, and I went out and bought Monet the day I found your site, and I just love it. I have actually saved all the patterns in ravelry so I can just go in and do the blocks when I am ready.
