Despite an attack of Spring Fever, which is causing me to want to sit on the porch sipping iced tea all day long, I have gotten a bit of work done on my pear blocks. If you recall, I had stacks of little bitty squares and rectangles labled from A to M that were to be sewn onto the various pear block units. I am now down to the last three piles, so truly, much has been accomplished.
The pear tops and bottom units are finished, and I have just completed the stem units. These were made with the stitch, flip and trim method, which I think is pretty accurate.
Stitch.
Press and flip.
Trim.
Ta da.
I have some things going on this week, so probably no post from me tomorrow.

Love your version. I recently started this quilt too. I plan to put my pears together soon.
You’ve been busy! Yay! I’m looking forward to seeing your pear quilt finished!
Cute little stems and also like your method and use that for my Carolina Lily Blocks.
Thanks
Ta for the little tutorial and applause for the pear block progress!! You’re down to only 3 piles that are waiting for their turn!
Wishing you well on the stuff that’s happening tomorrow.
I’ve already made a run to the library to return DVDs before storms roll in later. This will be our 3rd day of rain. Glub, glub.
Hugs!
Shhhhh…….here’s a little secret for you, we’ve been working on “Mini’s”, here in the Fig Tree & Co. studio, 4 new mini quilt patterns will be released in the next few days, the Mini Pears is so cute, I think it’s my favorite.
I’m enjoying your progress as I’ve admired this Fig Tree pattern for awhile. I liked your idea of making extras for a table runner. Guess I’m gonna’ have to order the pattern.
Couldn’t help but notice the secret post regarding the mini’s.

You are making great progress on your pears ! It is hard to sew when it is so gorgeous outside. I have already made my sun tea to enjoy while I am sewing today 😀
Love your little pears! Can’t wait to see them all done, I’ve been wanting to make that myself so may need to get cracking 🙂
It’s looking good!
