    Thanks. I have some blocks left, so will make shams one of these days. I'm just a little burned out from those colors; not my favorites.

I told her, "Impossible!"
    She looks thrilled with it even if it is small.
    Lovely job!

    :-D

    78 just happened to be the number of days until the end date! No other reason. Some people need less blocks and some need more so everyone can adjust!

    That's a big challenge you set for yourself!
    That's a lovely pattern. Can't wait to see the finished!

    Not much posting going on. I wonder just how many of the 152 that started will be finished on time?

    :-D

    I have 76 pinwheels made and so I need 44 more for a full bed
    size quilt. My husband thinks if it don't go on a bed it is useless.
    It is getting a little harder now that it has warmed up and I love
    being outside working in the yard. I hope I can make it. I probably
    won't get it quilted by then.
