Well, since you've got a Meyer Lemon growing, citrus are always an option. If you like grapefruit, why not try an Oro Blanco, Melogold or Cocktail? All are actually crosses of some sort (pummelo and grapefruit, or pummelo and mandarin/sweet orange), are much sweeter and do not require the heat to sweeten up as some of the standard grapefruit varieties do. And, a nice semi-dwarf grapefruit is a very pretty tree. Not sure what you mean by "...staying away from a mass of thorns". Blueberries do not have thorns. Maybe what you have are blackberries or raspberries?? Yes, grapefruit trees do have thorns, but the fruit are borne in clusters at the ends of branches, so the grapefruit thorns are not really going to interfere with picking either the blueberries or the grapefruilts. You might also think about one of the delicious pluots or apriums. Check out Dave Wilson's website for some nice suggestions and descriptions. Patty S.

I can't see the first photo but the second looks fantastic. Good Job!

Please don't give me credit for the pattern on this, I just did what I could with what I had to do this quilt. I am very unskilled when it comes to applique, haven't done much of it so thanks for the tip, Latifolia. I have done raw-edge applique on art quilts before but nothing that required exacting shapes. I would prefer turned edge but don't have the patience and skill for it.

John, I quite liked them and DH looked quite keen when I said he could have the extra one. He also said he’d like it again. Really they were pretty easy and straightforward to make, even in my (limited space and equipment) city kitchen. I’d do them again as is, and I might experiment with a version without mushrooms but with sun dried tomatoes and kalamata olives for a more Mediterranean flavour... Please, feel free to take the idea and run with it! Let us know how you went :-)
