You made it Michele, welcome to the AOTH Cyber sew.
Michele is a good friend of mine and we both go to the same Sewing Group here in Spain. So I am going to have a buddy sewing along with me.
Word of warning, 7" blocks are a bit fiddly if you are doing needleturn, wonderful for applique, but a lot of us have enlarged our blocks to 10" by increasing the pattern size to 140%.
The blue background sounds gorgeous.
