Barbara Brackman has it as "Mother's Dream" but the MD I remember is much
different ... And I did change it around a bit further (a li'l bit of
boredom can be a dangerous thing).
But when it comes to pieced (unless it's paper pieced, I think) I don't
think there's really any "new" blocks - I think they're old blocks tweaked
just a wee bit.

Hopefully you're not the sort to walk into situations with high
expectations. If so, you'll be disappointed!
But if you have any input or opinions on what I can do to make'em better -
'specially the instructions. I suck at writin' - as if you couldn't tell.
If you do like'em, there's plenty more where that came from. I've got a
coffee placemat and WH, other blocks that go with the Pomegranates, some
birds, etc. :)

Pomegranates? I've always heard that they're hard to grow ... good for you
on bein' able to grow one much less a bunch!! We've got a Key Lime tree
that's been givin' us fits. Has some weird white fuzz (not mold) growin' on
it and drivin' hubby buggers.
Don't even get me started 'bout t'matoes. Had FOUR plants this year and how
many tomatoes?? TWO. Two stinkin', teeny-weeny 'maters. I can't get more'n
two 'maters out of four plants and you get oodles of seedlin's out of one
tree?? Not fair. Not fair.
But I know what you mean ... I LOVE pomegranates. I just love'em raw. It's
been 'bout two years since I've had one, though ... the last few times they
were in season, they just didn't look .... right ... at the grocery store.
Trade ya fabric for pomegranate seeds! :)
Or, if you really want to be generous, I'll trade you my hubby for some
pomegranate seeds! ;)
Hugs!!
Connie :)
