One of the 'things' is my Briar Hill. I have 2 rows appliqued to the background strips and there are 4 full length and 6 half size ones still to do. It is a great project for taking with me to sewing group and the Guild and will be finished over time.
Since coming back from holidays the weather has been warmer and sunnier and DH has planted out the veggie garden. The green in the middle are the Chives that have survived from last year. The rhubarb always does well and there is a lot of garlic planted. I went through last years very quickly. Unfortunately it takes 9 months before they are ready to be dug up and then I have to hang them up to dry, a slow process but they are so fresh and tasty. YUM!
There are a wide variety of other seedlings and the tomatoes plants are still to go in.
The rest of the garden is doing well and there is a lot out in flower like the Gum Rose.
and these
and the Rose hedge has flowered. It is only early Spring so I hope they continue through the Summer as well.
Those are going to be beautiful quilts. I really need to work on mine, but it will have to wait till after the holidays. Our gardens are done for the season, seems it was too short this year.

Your block looks great! I love my quilt. I wish we were heading into spring rather than winter.
