12 Scrap jar blocks completed....

 Now to get them into a top! I was able to make the brown 16 patch block and the last three blocks were set into their jars this afternoon. Teal, light blue and brown were added to the mix. Linking up Saturday to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. This one will be a quilt donation to the homeless shelter in Vermont. They asked for a twin size.


The girls have grown a lot in 2 weeks. Eggnog is a lot bigger than the other 3 already! She is the one in front on the left, then blackberry, Ivy and Buttercup. The two on the left are Easter Eggers - a cross breed with a known blue egg layer. The other two are Rhode Island Reds. They will lay large brown eggs. We will wait and see what color and size eggs the other two lay in another 4-5 months. We currently have one Easter Egger -  Poppy who lays pretty large green eggs. The other two laying are Plymouths who lay large brown eggs. They are Maple and DC or Daisy Chickalotta.


Time to prep the Egg roll in a bowl for dinner. I'm using mild Italian sausage and need to shred the cabbage. I think I'll add some carrot to it as well... got to get some veggies into the boys. They liked the prosciutto wrapped asparagus that went with the steak on the grill and the roasted potato and onion last night. I think Friday will be Stromboli with pepperoni and black olives.

the quilt blocks look great - and all that meal planning - I wish I was good at it like you are. For your Stromboli do you use a prepared crust? sounds good

Oh my your last paragraph was making my tummy growl! I haven’t had breakfast yet, I’d better go remedy that! Scrap Jar blocks are favorites of mine. So pretty! Thanks for sharing the girls! I have a friend who has chickens and sells her eggs. Love all the green and brown speckled ones!,

Looking good - both the stars and the chickens! And I thought that the green eggs were made up thing by Dr. Seuss. Hope you will share a picture of the green egg. Enjoy the day!
