Improv Quilting - and a Birthday

I have been slowing adding to the improv blocks that I am making. I have no idea what this will turn into, but I am having fun playing with it.

I took the original two and added an applique piece to the one on the left here so that the pink fabric "marries" the two pieces a bit better.

 In other news, my mother is having her eighty-err something birthday this week,  so we had a party for her this past Saturday.  We did it early to attempt to surprise her.  I am not sure if it worked or not. Ha ha. 
Besides making some roasted brussels sprouts for the meal, I also made a chocolate cake with a peanut butter/cream cheese filling.  I regret that I didn't take a photo.  I can assure you that it was delicious.  I did save a bit so that Mom can have a piece on her actual birthday.  She doesn't know about it, so that will be another surprise for her.
Here is a photo my niece took of me with Mom that afternoon.
Happy Birthday Mom!

We had a large family party for my father in law's 80th birthday in December, and will have a small family party for my mother's 80th birthday in November. One more coming up next May. That cake sounds yummy. Recipe???

Just wanted to say it's so awesome that you're celebrating your mom's birthday! So awesome! She looks like she's so cool. She probably knew about the surprise before y'all did. :-). Have a great day!

How awesome that your mom has a birthday cake baking boy. Is she the one who introduced you to baking?
