Donna, i am doing an original, just like you :) lol But i started it 4 1/2 hours ago, and have been working steady, and am almost finished. I have 3 Y seams done, yeah!!!!! Never done a Y seam in my life, and don't know if i ever want to do one again lol, but i'm almost done lol. I don't know why it takes me so long, i don't know, is it taking you this long to do this block, or just me? lol :) And ive been working steady lol, but will be done in bout half an hour, yeah! :)
