"For The Boys" Blog Hop! It's My Day!

Oh, Boy!  Welcome to my blog on this 3rd day of the
"For The Boys" Blog Hop!
 
Thank you to Madame Samm and Amy
for another great blog hop.  :)
 
The project I created is for a very special young man
named Nick who has been blessed to grow up
with his very special cousin, Miriam.
 
Here they are as young 'uns!...
 
 
And here they are as young adults...

 
...with Nick's dog, Sarge.
 
Nothing like a boy and his dog!
So I made Nick a dog quilt.
 
I didn't get it completed - still need to finish the binding.

 
The pattern is "Yellow Brick Road".
 
 
Here is a close-up of a couple of the blocks.
 
 
By the time you read this I will have had surgery for diverticulitis.
During my recovery time I will be able to
put the binding on many quilts in my WIP pile(s).
 
Be sure to check out the other bloggers scheduled for today:
 
November 8th
 
Thanks for stopping by!
blessings, denise  :D
