    I will start working on mine in a few more months.
    Butterflies are already on blocks, but I think I will done more embroidery on them before putting them together. I have sashing & boarder fabric picked & put with the blocks.
    I just have a lot of garden to work with this year & hands get sooo stained, I don't want it on my blocks.
    We will have tomatoes soon, cukes are coming on & the squashes & pumpkin plants are full of buds & a few blooms.
