Happy Oscar night everyone!  It’s hard for me to believe that five years ago, right about at this time, we were about to welcome our second beautiful baby girl into the world – Capri Grace.  It’s been a crazy busy, birthday filled weekend – full of fun and cake – lots and lots of cake.  I’ll be blogging soon about all the fun we had and of course about the incredible quilt that was put together for Capri.  But tonight I do want to share with you quick snap shots of the FORTY-TWO beautiful quilts that were created for the ‘Wish Upon a Star’ Project QUILTING Challenge.
