    My presentation went well, thank you. Much, much better than the rehearsal .

    As promised, here are some pictures. One block close-up and one of all the 25 blocks done to date All of them hand-pieced. I can really tell I cut these pieces 2 years ago when I was just starting to quilt, my cutting isn't always as exact as it should be, I've improved a lot since then when it comes to cutting. Still, it's a pretty forgiving block and doing it by hand gives you enough chances to 'cheat'.

    Thank you! I love the colors myself as well and it will fit my room perfectly when it's done.

    Absolutely !!! I am finishing a quilt for my square dance club - after that I will be free to persue a UFO or two!! The hard part is deciding which one to work on! I think I need to choose the one that will be the easiest and fastest to finish. That will give me encouragement to work on another one! Maybe.
