Just realized I was not getting updates on this thread. I am still here, and plugging along.
I have been hand sewing (QAYG) some of the blocks following Leslie's example. I will add the backing after I put them together ala Leslie!
I store my block in gallon size zip-loc bags, by week. 4 blocks fit without the batting, and then another 4 behind facing out. (Does that make sense) Triangles are 2 and 2, kind of by week. That way my cats won't mess them up and I can carry them out without fear of mishaps.
But I have lots of catching up to do! (Running real fast, just to keep in place!)
