I spent a lot of time this weekend sewing quilt blocks. I managed to get 2 "Arkansas Crossroads" tops pieced. I finished the one on the right first. It actually turned out like the one on the left - see the half x's on both sides and the top and bottom? For some reason, I thought those should all be full x's, so to used my trusty seam ripper to take a row off of one side, and off the bottom, and attached them to the opposite side. Let me just say, that was way too much work, and I decided there is really nothing wrong with 1/2 and 1/4 x's on the sides and in the corners!
The smaller quilt, the one on the right, is made using the actual sized blocks I intended to. That's all I'm saying. The one on the left is made using the mistakes from the one on the right. Of course I also needed to make more, to add to it.
Mr. Small town decided it would be a good day to clean out the vehicle.
And son #2 decided it would be a good day to mow.
My planter is not looking too bad.......

I like the full x's, I like the partial x's. The pictures made me smile. So summertime.
