Front Porch month 3 - basket

Today is the day we share our basket blocks for the Front Porch quilt-a-long.



I just finished today on this hot and hazy humid Monday.  These are the weeks of the year where I really wish we had central A/C!   We are having some young missionaries over for dinner tonight and we are trying to figure out how to do ALL the cooking outside.  I think it will be grilled burgers and corn, plus cold fruit and all the fixings.



I didn't have a large floral I liked, so I improvised with the flowers.



This is what we have so far:



Right away I started prepping for our next step - the three small watermelon blocks ... Check out the others' blocks on Lori's blog today, and say a little prayer for Lori as she recently lost her Mom to Alzheimers,  and today are the services.  Virtual quilter blogger hugs to you across the miles, Lori.
