Ever Cooked Fish Casserole?

That's what is currently giving my oven a work-out.
 
The ingredients are: fish, broccoli, cauliflower, purple onion, carrots, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, etc.
 
 
Done, and partially ingested.  Yummy.

Annie's Choice Quilt Block

12 x 12 inches.
 
This is my first attempt at making this particular quilt block; and it turned out quite proper.
 
 
 
I did not work from a pattern, and on my first try, the block turned out to be only 6 1/4 by 6 1/4 inches. My attempt was for a block that would be, at least, ten inches. (guess I should return to math school)

 
Loving the black and white, and the dandelions.

 
The 6 1/4 block is below.
Working with those tiny squares....

My big and long Banana Pepper

 
 
I actually grew a banana in my , that amazed me.

 
It is over six inches long, over an inch wide.
 

 
I've already enjoyed it with my dinner. It was delicious.

Red and White Stars

Sister's Choice

Quilt Top Blocks


These blocks are 12 x 12 inches each.
 

 
I enjoy making challenging quilt blocks, and these, somewhat, are.

 
Though I draw lines for the HST's,  oh well, again, these are somewhat challenging to make.
There are the 9-patch centers, where the seams should match as closely as possible; then, the extra rows must be added on -or some sewers might go row by row when constructing these blocks. I find it easier to do the 9-patch unit first; and then add the other pieces.
