Lemon Squeezy

Good afternoon, sweet friends. 

I finished another block in my  Summer Days Quilt- a big ole pitcher of refreshing  Lemonade.  Ooh it is making me dream of summer already! 

 I will be moving my hoop to the next block soon. 

How do you like your lemonade?  Super sweet or "pucker your mouth tart"?  I like mine sweeeet!
