January Blocks and Cheesecake Bars

As promised, I got to work on my quilt blocks this week. It's much more fun than unpacking, so it got done today :)

Here's Block #1: The Asterisk

Block #2: The Wonky Pound Sign

I don't have a square yet, so I "squared" them on my computer :) Neither of them are perfect, but they are much better than I was expecting (it helps when your expectations are really low!), and I'm rather proud of myself. I'm looking forward to learning a lot with this quilt.

And since I uploaded pictures from my camera, I will also show pictures of my yummy dessert from this weekend:

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Bars

And to add variety, Blackberry Cheesecake Bars

I thought they were super yummy, but I have been craving cheesecake for weeks. It helps that it's low on chocolate, which sadly hasn't been as appetizing lately. If you're interested in the recipe, I found it here. 

Well, that's all my updates for the day. Thanks for reading!
