With every quilt square I've made for this project, I knew right away what design I wanted to use for that month's recipient. And when I found out that Denise was joining the exchange, my mind instantly went in one direction: Donny Osmond. You see, Denise and I share a fascination with Donny Osmond - a common ground we realized early in our sweet blog friendship.
(Here's the part where you can click on this link and it will open a separate page. Then you can listen to Donny's "Puppy Love" and come back and read the rest of this post while it plays in the background. I'll wait...)
But how would I make a quilt square with our beloved Donny Osmond on it? I tried my best to come up with another idea and kept coming back to Donny. Denise has sons close to Carrie's age...she loves Himself...and her dogs...puppies... PUPPY LOVE. Done.
I used my Cricut to cut letters to use as templates, then traced around them on the back of fabric after I'd ironed on some fusible webbing. The solid background fabric is from my mom's fabric scraps, and so is that little pink heart in the middle of LOVE. :o) ♥
And they called it...
~dreamy sigh~
And I have loved participating in Fiona's Friendship Quilt Block Exchange. I have plans to join all my blocks into a fun quilt top after the first of the year, and you can bet I'll be sharing my progress here on my blog when that happens. Many thanks to Fiona for organizing such a sweet and meaningful project!

Amazing, absolutely amazing! She is going to LOVE it!
You're brilliant, because that quilt square is just perfect for Denise!
Another gorgeous square.....I so love the one you made for me.
I'm also sad it's finished.
It's beautiful! Every one you have made has been a work of art.
Perfect!
Another thoughtful square! This has been one amazing project. I can't wait to see everyone's finished quilts.
Wonderful idea of what to do and I love how you were able to use some of Marti's supplies on it. That makes it even more special.
This is just lovely - and so neatly done, in her special coloura. A little work of art :).
LOL! I love Donny Osmond, too! I took my daughters to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, starring Donny Osmond. They had no idea who he was/is and asked "Who's Donny Osmond?" I cracked up. They still enjoyed it.
