IS IT SOUP YET?

                 Stone Soup blocks are all sewn into "bowls" now; 
I am looking for setting ideas and eye-balling fabrics...
                                and thinking to myself that 
                                  this looks like Borst Soup...

                        { "Imagination is funneee.." songs again;))) }

I think you float sour cream on top...???
                     NOW....there is a challenge to depict that
                         in trim, which is one of our Stone Soup rules
                            --maybe in my Crazy Quilt basket
                                    I can come up with something...


                                 
                Maybe this fabric laying there will be the "tablecloth"????

and this:
                                              For the borders....
                        a country print that uses some coordinating colors.

And I'd like to include this one--
altho' the color is not in the same family--
                                                        but ..."I like it"..;)))
