Did you make the Christmas Tree yet? You could turn in into another fruit tree! I love your apple tree the way it is.

I'm always curious ... is there any significance to this block's design and the state?

QuiltE

I should make it again ..... or maybe there'll be another tree to use it on?

QuiltE - There is the Norway Pine. I'm not sure if you want that for it as it looks like a pine tree. You could have 2 Apple Trees.

Am I being too literal again?

Termi ... Thanks! I had said I was going to be caught up at the end of Spring Break ... and looks like I can do it! 1-1/2 left to go! (then I'll be ready to get behind again!)

DDamsel ... Nope! So please do explain the phrase to this Canuck!

DublB ... You're SO ahead of me ... I have looked at the different blocks, to come, but sure don't remember what there is! Maybe once I get in caught up mode, I should do that ... and do some fabric planning?

Just saw your interest too DublB ... and thought why not use this modern technology called Google?

DDamsel ... must have been mental telepathy that I used those stars. Almost too funny, that I did those FCs!

Here's the history behind Stars Fell on Alabama!
