Nanna-up-North: Thanks for the encouragement. I have a total of 30 blocks to make, have done 16, and five more ready to finish up. Working on them in groups of five. When I get the blocks done, just have to assemble. No borders, so there is progress. I'm hoping it will look better in my DDIL's home and when it is quilted. Rhonda Lee, was it you who mentioned getting bogged down in the middle, but liking the beginning and finishing? I'm there!! I'm hoping to get the top done in March for a finish. It;s been such a cold winter here that maybe she'll be able to use it for a while this spring! Just gotta keep going......
