Long Time Gone SAL - Week 5 Trip Around the World

I love so many of Jen Kingwell's designs and when I heard there would be a SAL using her sampler pattern Long Time Gone of all machine pieced blocks, I decided I needed to play along.
The details can be found here at  http://www.gnomeangel.com/week-1-long-time-gone-sew-along-bow-tie-block/ if you would like to join in the fun.
This is my version of the block for this week, Trip Around the World:

 There are 139 pieces in this seam-heavy 12 inch block...no strip piecing for me, I wanted lots of variety in the background...

I had fun playing in this colorway...lots of choices in my stash of fabrics.

This block is a bit thick with all the many seams even though I did press them open...

 These are some of my daffodils, they are a bit weary as they have weathered some storms.

And a small hyacinth that shows up every spring.

 Asparagus makes a good snack on my morning walks!

 My chickens wondering why I have my camera and not a snack for them!!
