Setting the Summer Picnic Dish

Putting these blocks on point gives them a different look.  As I was making the second block, I decided that I’m going to use the on point setting for these.  I’ll use half centres along the outer edges of the top so that I have a straight edge.  The second block isn’t quite finished and will actually be the third block.  Placing the corner pieces is something I’ll need to be careful about for the second block so that I don’t have 2 green or 2 floral corner pieces joined.

On Friday we had some errands to run within walking distance.  Walking along one of the streets, we came across this crab apple tree.

There are many street planters in the area.

Things are still a bit hectic for us but everything should be settled down after today.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’s so and that I can get back to reading and leaving comments on blogs as well as replying to comments.

Lester seems to be contemplating something.

  2. This is going to be a fabulous quilt. Looking forward to seeing the on point setting. I love the flower planters. Quite a variety of flowers and just so colorful! Lovely! Lester does look quite pensive.

  6. That block is stunning, Cathi. I just love the colors and it spells c-o-u-n-t-r-y g-a-r-d-e-n all over it. I think it has to be my favorite of all those you’ve shown us.

    I’m holding off on planting my planters for at least another week. After all, we had SNOW last week!
