I paper pieced the apples and tree blocks and made random crazy patch crumbs for the filler blocks. Thank you Krystyna! And a hearty congratulations on becoming the hostess for us! You'll be fabulous!

Dearest Daffy; I have dislocated my thumb when I did a dance with the ashfalt, never fear, though, my mom will be here and she will finish the binding for me. She will be here Tuesday. So sorry for the delay.

In the spring, it's very beautiful with all the different greens/browns, etc. In the fall, it's dotted with golden grains and laden with fields of wheat stocks and lentils ready for harvest. So the center depicts the Palouse. It's surrounded by various blocks. Apples and trees of course which are well known for Washington and the bright crazy patch blocks because I love them! LOL! Thanks for looking!
