The highest point ...

Zenith quilt block
According to Merriam-Webster a zenith is defined as "the highest point reached in the heavens by a celestial body".

Today's featured quilt block is called Zenith, as you may have guessed, and my thought is that it was so named because it has a highest point (on each of the four sides).

I thought it was time to move away from the most recent colour schemes I have been using ... all seeming to be related to sand and beaches. (Hmmm ... maybe there is a subliminal message there ...)  So today's block is vibrant with some of my favourite colours.

This block is an easy one to construct and contains another favourite of mine ... the flying geese patch. And ... as a surprise, the rectangle patches create a secondary pattern of pinwheels when laid out next to each other.
