Well here's my block 11. I think I now feel comfortable enough to wait for the June start date to do more. Obviously there are things that need work, but I think I'll get better with each block. I'll continue to watch for the blocks from the JTGC as ya'll keep me motivated and awed!
Kathy---I believe you are doing your applique by machine correct? Are you also doing the embroidery by machine? If so, what stitch are you using as yours looks like hand work.
All of these blocks are just beautiful and it's so astonishing to see how different they are.

Lovely block Roxanne, looks good to me. Are you telling us that you are going to not make any more until June now? You are far stronger than I was. Once I started, I couldn't stop![/quote]
Leslie---actually block 10 scares the heck out of me! so, I will wait for company (you know, as in misery loves....)

You could skip to an easier one, and go back to no. 10 when you feel a bit more confident.

I'm supposed to be working on my funky chicken quilt anyway. I just got anxious about my lack of applique/embroidery skills and wanted to practice before June. But, you are right this is addictive. I absolutely love this quilt and I am enjoying the hand work when my hands will allow. boy, these tiny pieces are tough aren't they?

Roxanne, great job!! I love your take on this one. ...and yeah about your chicken quilt..you should do some funky cats while you wait for your chickens to fly the coop and head home...LOL!!
I bet you will sneak in another block or two of AOTH before June as its great to have some handwork going and yes..the tiny pieces are hard to deal with- mine are the 7" blocks...are yours?
