Feb. Get Together at Christina's

Our lunch time meeting was at Christina's home for Feb. and we were blessed with warmer weather and of course Christina fixed us a lovely lunch. Excellent Chicken Salad Sandwiches, strawberries and grapes and a Feb. favorite of Red Velvet Cake from a recipe by Paula Dean. We all remembered having the cake as youngsters and how much of a novelty it was with the two bottle of red food coloring ! LOL
We also shared our finished Jan blocks and each of us found something that we would do differently and more than one of us had to "re-make" a block that didn't work the first time.
We love seeing how choice of fabrics and colors makes such a difference in the look of the block.
Well done everyone and we are more than 1/4 through the quilt blocks.
