I don't think I like the corner block, so will likely change that, but I think I like the light stripe against the blocks better than the dark.

Thank you.
I know you usually like them all, but what do you think...  Dark stripe against the blocks (first pic) or light stripe against the blocks (second/last pic)?  TY

And, I probably will change that corner block, I just don't know to what, but not likely the weird diagonal stripe.

I think the light stripe against the blocks as it creates more of a frame around your center display, and can't wait to see what you come up with for the corner block changes without the diagonal.

No picture, but I went with more arrows (just two points, instead the three on the sides).

Top is finished, not sure when I'll get it quilted.  It'll probably be available when it is finished.

Don't think I mentioned it here, but did to Diane, I'm working on a Candy Cane quilt.
My mom cut a pattern and directions out of a regional paper last year.  The pattern calls it "Candy Cane".  I did adjust it a little bit and plan to make it smaller.  It's solid red and solid white, and I'm debating using a tone-on-tone white snowflake print in the border (the red and white doesn't coordinate at all, the reds clash).
Anyway, attached is a picture of half of the top, I still have to press and sew together the other strips for the rest of the top.

No new picture, but had time to sew today, go all the pieces sewn into 4 row strips, and those 4 row strips sewn into three pair sets.   Getting there.

The other day when I was in town, I picked up some fabric to make a small project of some sort for a local fundraiser.  Had to pick up fabric, as I wanted to use the school colors of the town where the fundraiser will be held, thought local colors might drum up interest.  Will probably make potholders and maybe a table runner or something.   School colors are orange, black and white; so will be interesting to work with.   Found some black and white fabric with food words, and another with the alphabet.

Finished these placemats the other day.  They are available.
Due to the pattern, they come as a set of six, as shown.
