Both my daughters are up visiting this week, and they sprang a birthday surprise on me. First of all, it isn't actually my birthday until Monday, so that helped with the surprise. Then my youngest daughter lured me away to a fabric store for part of the afternoon. (I admit it wasn't a hard sell...) While we were gone, my oldest daughter did some piglet magic with a chocolate sheet cake and some fondant.
You can get instructions for making your own piggy
here and
here at Sally T's blog, though you'll have to settle for just a fabric one. For a fondant pig, you're on your own...
Since this is based on my main block for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts, I'm linking with So Scrappy for

Happy Birthday, Gayle!!!!!!!!!!!!!
