I am finally smarter than the average duck!
I finally figured out posting a pic on the new format--Yeahhhh
I am doing double duty for these two from last month. These two also coiunt toward this years Moratorium...
The first is about 4-months old. I really need to pay attention to my count when I am putting these together. I chain stitch the rows leaving the connecting threads all the way across, then sew the strips together. I was 2 squares short of the second to middle diagonal and did not find out until the second to the last block per row. I refused to take it completely out. I just had to find a replacement and fix the other "16". Now you know why it sat for 4 months.
The second is one of two that have hand embroidered squares from a friend. It is about 7-years old. The third picture is a close up of one of the blocks. Since I tweaked this one (adding the sashing), the second one is on hold until I can come up with a more pleasing layout.
