A Really Fine Place to Dine

What would happen if a person took a photo of some unique Chinese foods, then printed it on to fabric and used it in a quilt block? The classic Pineapple Block, symbol of hospitality, seemed to be a perfect way to portray a smorgasbord of foods eaten in Bejing. Some of my photos appear in this manner. Loved all the ways to cook tofu! And the flavors of dishes prepared in new ways was really something I wanted to remember. Too bad I couldn’t do a “scratch and sniff” wall hanging! This block joins others including 4 red lantern blocks to remind me of the wonderful foods. Do 4 red lanterns symbolize a restaurant that was a great choice? Who knows but they hung everywhere as colorful decorations making the experience all the more exotic and memorable.
