AW Gee, thanks so much.
I really needed that compliment to give me some confidence.
Seriously, not joking there, I've been too nervous to start it in case I stuffed it up.

And to think I haven't even ironed this block yet, I was told I should iron as I go but my patience with fiddly things only goes so far, I draw the line at jumping up and ironing every little 2" piece, Unless I absolutely must. :-)
Hugs n roses, Meganne

This is going to be for our bed, which is Queen size. The block of the month set was a gift to us from Barb in payment for me digitising several designs for her. Way too much in my opinion but I will be eternally grateful for this beautiful gift, especially since our bedspread wore out so we now don't have one. I am looking forward to completing this now that I have started it.

I started embroidering squares for a quilt for my GD, but the designs needed working on so I got bogged down re-digitising the bad sections and haven't got any further with the project, now I have TWO GD's to make quilts for. LOLOLOL!!!!
