Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

It was a great day for baking and sewing. My daughter-in-law had texted me yesterday with this picture saying what it was. It's Redbud and Lemon Cornbread Loaf Cake http://www.ful-filled.com/2017/03/25/redbud-lemon-cornmeal-loaf-cake/ Now I was intrigued by it because it was using Redbud flowers.  And here on the place we have lots of Redbud trees and have been wanting to make something.

Then I put up another UFO.  I would like to get done before the end of the year and that is my chicken scratch blocks that I have been working on since I believe 1990.  I have had them completed for at least a couple years but just put them away and hadn't done anything with them it's about time I do something with them. I want to put them on point but the stars are not a perfect square so when I first attempt at it a while back I wasn't happy with what I was looking at. But time has...
