Have you ever had bright hopes for the future - bright hopes for your son or your daughter - I'm sure Samson's Mother had bright hopes for Samson. After many barren years she finally had a son - and she did what many of us do - we spoil them. We make excuses for them. We coddle them. We clean up their messes. But if all goes well, in the end - they learn their lessons and they do the right thing - the job God planned for them.

| Samson's Mother - Bright Hopes |
This block is called Bright Hopes. I almost didn't make it because it had so many half seams and 45 degree angles that I couldn't see how it could be easily pieced. Then I had an inspiration and used English Paper Piecing - see the previous Blog Entry. The block nearly fell together - neat corners and all.

It's a gorgeous block. I like the light/dark look to it.
Thank you so much!! The light and dark seemed so natural - the joys and the despair associated with raising children.
