Remember you 2 "nuts"

are 2 hours apart. So your 330 will be her 530. I think Scrambled would lose it if she were up at 330.

Now it would be a different story if she were in Kansas................

Gonna get started on my fall blocks in about an hour. I'll post pics of some later tonight or in the morning.

I have all my fabrics washed dried and ironed.

The guys have gone to one of the leases to work on fences so part of the herd can be moved.
I have the WHOLE AFTERNOON to cut and sew on fall blocks.

Here is my fabric palette for the Cake Stand block.

I have been doing some research on the block and it was first published in 1895 and originally had 4 points on each side. Our pattern has only two points. I also found an heirloom block with three points on each side. I thought about making that one because I could utilize more fabric variety. It would mean resizing a 10 inch block into a 12 inch. But the more I think about it and after checking the other patterns...the size of triangles would not be similiar to the others....so, I'll stick with the pattern on the website.

Besides... I'm in a race now with scrambled!!!!!! But don't tell her.

Love the colors NanaKat.
