I can't wait to begin the next block.

Won't say how long this took but needless to say if it was a whole quilt I don't think I would live long enough to complete it. LOL Hope you like my church - I do.

I haven't added to it yet, but left it at 10 inches. I will wait to see how the other blocks look before embellishing it.
