The last border

I am almost done with the small “Devil’s Puzzle” top!  yahoo!!  I will be glad to have one done out of this stack of quilt tops to quilt.  I am taking a break from drawing the design on the last border.  I will start quilting on that tomorrow.

Some of you might read the blog called “Grandma’s Red Needle” –  Astrid posted an interesting post about some fruit that is grown on the island of Mauritius where she lives.  The island is located in the Indian Ocean about 560 miles off of the coast of Madagascar.  The fruit is called Jackfruit and it is grown on a tree.  Some of the weirdest fruit I have ever seen!!  You should go to her blog and look at her photos.  Very interesting :)   I was amazed to see this is in the mulberry family of fruit .  We have a mulberry tree and it and the fruit looks nothing like this tropical variety.

I find it very interesting to read blogs from other countries – it is so nice to see what quilters around the world work on and also to learn of their lives.
