Dear JaneManaged to get one more block done!  I have 72 completed.  97 more blocks to go and then that border!  I have a feeling it will very much take the 3 years that it took me to make the first one.  I did decide last night what pattern to use for the guild challenge that is due in the middle of May.  It will be a wall hanging and I will use several methods of piecing for it — and that is all I will say about it until it is due in May  :)    I have been told that there are several guild members that look at my blog so I better not say a word as no one is supposed to know what we are making – pattern, or what fabric ect.

I did a little more yard work today and also made up some wonderful biscuits for supper tonight to go with stew.  Karen at the Dakota Kitchen has some great recipes.  She had a recipe for a sour dough starter for a cinnamon bread which I made and from there I have looked for other sourdough recipes and I have found a great one for waffles which we really loved and then I found a  recipe for biscuits.  They were delicious!  I have a bag of them in the freezer now as it made much more than I realized it would.  If anyone is interested in these recipes let me know and I will post them.  Go to the other Karen’s site and see what all she has to offer :)

Yesterday’s question was:  Half-square triangle units can be used as “parents” for quarter-square triangle units.  The answer was TRUE.  Truthfully I guessed at this one!  I had not heard the term “parents”  for half-square triangle units.  Here is a link that shows what it means and explains all about it.
