Thanks so much Dotty. I finished 4 blocks this week, yipee! A question for anyone? Are the ones visiting this forum thread now using a schedule for making blocks? I have just been doing blocks in order by rows. At first I planned to do the quilt in 9 sections and do a quilt-as-you-go but that was before reality set in and I will be machine quilting this quilt. I do want to be able to enjoy it before I pass on, Good Lord willing.
