Today is pasta day and the girls all stay for dinner.  We haven't had 'pasta' per se in quite a while .  Thing One has been sick of pasta and so am I.  We haven't had it for 3 or 4 weeks...so today we had pasta.  I also made Thing One  some chicken.

 And I worked on a couple more blocks..I finished 'hovering hawks'.  I chose a flowery brown and a fabric that I have used often for the background.

Then I worked on maple leaf...I was going to make it red and white for our Canadian flag, but then I thought...no, it would stick out like a sore thumb.
 So, there was a particular green fabric that I thought would be nice...and ooopps..out of that one.  I found another green that I liked for the leaf and then a nice gold for the background.  I made sure the design in the gold fabric  was going in the same direction.  With an easy block like this, I was successful doing that...and I think it turned out quite nice.
