Sandy Dunes and other hot things ...

Sandy Dunes quilt block

Another five patch which supposedly means easy math. Yay!

The Sandy Dunes quilt block is a great starter for beginners, as it contains only two different patches -- one of them being the square. The other is a flying geese unit, which is used in many, many quilt blocks. I played around with colour and the layout to produce two very different quilts. What can you come  up with?

Where there is sand, there is heat ...

• "Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do singe yourself."
  ~ William Shakespeare


• "If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?"
  ~ Steven Wright

And speaking of heat ... "Sugar" gave us a few laughs in the movie Some Like it Hot

• Sugar: "Real diamonds! They must be worth their weight in gold!"


• Sugar: "Story of my life. I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.
