You have beautiful blocks, and I am glad to see someone who is about at the same row as I am. Keep up the good work.

So, I am back, with some progress. I am hand quilting each block as I go along, and also, adding the sashing and cornerstones, so I progress very slowly. When I dropped away 2 years ago, I had several blocks made, but not quilted. Well, I found out this past week, that you can do a lot of hand quilting, while waiting in a hospital for spouse's medical procedures to happen. He is doing fine and just needs time for recovery now. So, here is what I got done. I quilted the last 6 blocks of row 4, got the sashing and cornerstones attached and then got that whole row attached to the first 3 rows. I did the pictures in 2 sets, to get closer pics.
This pic shows the left half of the first 4 rows.

And this last picture shows the first 6 blocks of row 5

So, back to the sewing machine for me. I probably won't post for 2 weeks again, which gives me a little more time to show some progress. I plan on finishing row 5 and then devoting time to the triangles across the top, just to see some progress there. Enjoy and keep on trucking, oops, I mean sewing. :)

The gangs all here! Yay

I was moving along pretty well until I decided to change my color scheme to use the same fabric for the background. It's good to be back in the saddle...at least looking at it. Making blocks is the next step. :)

Bev, thanks for letting us know about how to run DJ software on a Mac. I have Crossover installed and will try it.

Thanks, Fraew, yours are looking pretty spectacular. Let's try to hang in there. Since I posted those pictures, about 2 hours ago, I got 2 blocks made and ready to quilt. Now to find the time to quilt them, but I will make time in the evenings. Just need to stay off the computer and games. :)
