Here's a few pictures of what is done so far.
I need to give a special thanks to Athenagwis! We met in person the other day to trade fabric. Sweet, sweet lady! She is collecting oranges, and I asked for purples in return. Although I'm collecting purples for a different project, one scrap piece she gave me was a STRIPE, so I had to put it in this project. :D
there is one block in this arrangement that I may just offer up to anyone who is trying a block on their own. I haven't decided which block yet. (Most likely not the one with the fabric from my new pal.)
Just eight more blocks to go

Athenagwis gave me the purple and white stripe (top right & bottom left of this block)
