Oh, oh -- I only have about a 2" strip left of B. But, I can always improvise! That's what quilters do, right?

I'm sure this is a stupid question but we cut WOF verses using the scraps? I wait to use the scraps until you tell us?

I used some of my scraps for my "B" blocks and didn't have to use one of the WOF strips. Also when I started cutting my "C" blocks, I only used 3 WOF strips for the 20 blocks - 10 to use with "A" and 10 to use with "B".

Judy, you had me a little confused when I first read the instructions but I think I have it right. It is A-C and B-C isn't it? Here are my blocks for this week.

I did sneak a taste when I took the water lock off and it had a very nice chocolate flavor, it isn't going to have the deep color of chocolate though. The flavors haven't matured yet, but it seems from my first taste it is going to be really good, especially as a chilled dessert wine.

Wine making is very easy

This is what it looked like when I first started it

This is it before fermenting was finished

It looks different now, lighter in color more translucent.
