Good Morning, Quilters!

How would you like to save calories by quilting?

Wouldn’t that be nice!?

Maybe the next time you crave an ice cream cone, you could quilt one instead!?

Quilted ice cream cones aren’t as tasty, but the enjoyment lasts longer!

I started with a square and placed the calorie-saving ice cream motifs on the diagonals. Then I added the cupcakes in between.

Diet books are always on the best-seller list. Perhaps I’m on to something…

Next time I’m craving something I’ll just quilt it instead!

I think I’ll quilt a pie!
