My design wall has those BOM2011 blocks on the side, but I've put up the stuff from the "Buck-A-Block" deal that my one of my LQSs has. The yellow/white ones are from last month and the orange strip is this month's.
The blocks are made using "Thangles" and the LQS owner made hers in mini-size. We are duplicating it in EQ7 and I'm duplicating it for real. I just couldn't resist those bitty blocks. They're 2 3/4 inches, so they will finish at 2 1/4. So cute! To see other design walls, click

This mess on my cutting table is the audition for the next block in my Civil War Bride Quilt. I've almost finished the ostriches -- there was a lot of football this weekend (
Go Badgers!). I'm thinking I'm going to use the dark green for the background even though there are a lot of leaves and stems in the design; I'll use the lighter greens for the appliqué.
And these beauties are my haul from the farmer's market this weekend. I found my all-time favorite squash, some gorgeous cippolini onions, and this lovely Romanesco broccoli. We sampled the Romanesco Saturday for dinner ( I drizzled it with EVOO and roasted the florets in the oven until they were browned, then a little Kosher salt and lemon juice to finish -- OMGosh! --
delicious!) We had a couple of the delicata squash for dinner last night.
