Donna - nice blocks! you are making good progress
Teen - you are almost to the finish line - at least with the blocks. then comes the fun of putting them all together.
Anael, you asked about my border. I looked online for ideas, and thought about doing something with a trianlge sort of like Dear Jane - but then decided I really didn't want to deal with a lot more peicing so went with a traingle and added additional "peaks" for interest.
I used 1.5" wide strips and sewed on the diagonal, I cut out templates for the center part that is a bit wider. Then I sewed each side group and cut them on the diagonal to match the triangle. It's a 45 degree triangle so was easy to deal with as far as cutting.
