I dropped by your blog and see you're hip-deep in quilts-in-process. Impressive. I just hope I can manage to finish mine properly, never having done it before. Thanks for dropping by! Thanks!

There are almost no veggies I don't like. In fact, there are few flavors I don't like as a whole. I eat vegetarian with occasional fish, so it's good to have that kind of flexibility. As far as everyone else in the family, they can pick out what they don't like or learn to cook. MUHAHAHAHA!!!

Yup, combine us and you'd get someone who likes a lot of veggies and has an obsession with just about every craft known to man. ;-) Heh…I like corn (on the cob, preferably, but none of the other ones you mentioned).

The largest pieces are 18x22 and all of the other pieces only required me to cut them in half. No measuring involved. I'd get tired of it really fast if I had to measure everything and be perfect about it. Boring! Sewing that top took less than an hour - that's a time commitment I can live with. You know, put together, we'd have a decent vegetable appetite. I hate the veggies you mentioned, but I do like corn, peppers, onions, uncooked carrots, celery and salad. If we were a single person we'd be in decent shape ;-) I’m with you on cutting and piecing – that’s why I used fat quarters.

I hate sewing and I think the cutting and piecing would drive me bonkers, but I love quilts. What I really want is someone else to make me some. :-) Once again, I wonder if we were separated at birth...I'm not a vegetable fan either. I want to like them because they're good for me, but other than broccoli, green beans, and peas, I can't stand most veggies unless they're hidden in something else -- I don't even like salad.

I've been tempted to buy them just for the attractiveness factor!
