Cozy Cuddling Quilt Block
I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words.

Just the other day, I saw a personalized license plate in Blacksburg that said "ALLKOZY" and I just knew the owner of that car and I would be fast friends! There's nothing better than snuggling and cuddling with a good book or a great love 🤗
Cozy Cuddling
That license plate immediately became my inspiration for this month's Quilt Block Mania pattern. To help me design the block, I set a timer for 60 seconds and brainstormed for all the words and ideas that come to mind when I envision cozy cuddling...
- warm hugs from Coach
- watching movies with my Angel Girl
- heavy quilts
- hand-crocheted afghans
- super soft fibers
- well-worn t-shirts
- cable knit sweaters
- oversized sweatshirts
- earmuffs and headbands
- mittens and scarves
- turning pages
- fictional adventures
- dreamy naps
My next task was to determine how to transform those fabulous fall feelings into a quilt block. In the end, I chose a scrappy chevron layout to imitate the afghans I remember draped on the couch at my Mema's house.
