This started out as a calendar block from my Block-A-Day collection. I liked the block so much that I put four similar blocks together for a huge 16″ block.

It was intended to be a donation quilt but it was so much work that very early on Stacia and Deloise convinced me (not a hard sell) to keep it for myself. Pat’s birthday was coming up and I didn’t have a gift (or an idea of a gift) so I made the blocks into a long bed runner. Pat’s feet get cold at night so this might help to keep them warm.

It took a long time to finish and the quilting seemed to go on forever. It is probably the longest thing I have ever made but it is a nice size and hangs over both edges of our king-sized bed.
