That's the prettiest I've seen! I've seen a lot on Bonnie's open Facebook page, but I like yours the most I personally don't do leaders and Enders, but I think the challenge is cool.

Ube, I am not in it, but I just wanted to say that I love the colors you picked.

I like your colors and layout... Like others, when I try to do L&E, I end up doing the project to see what it will look like and get lost from my primary project. For what its worth, when I am struggling with which way to press seams and frequently having to change their direction, I just press everything open and then it always fits.

I have 10 blocks finished and I am doing totally scrappy other than the black/white strip. I will use some different whites. I cut a bunch of 6.5" lengths from my 1.5" strips and decided I really prefer to use longer strips and chain piece several before cutting. I started sorting a donation of leftover scraps and am finding lots of 1.5" by 6.5" strips! I guess I will use them as I go. At least I didn't need to cut them! Lol!

I better check if I am ironing mine correctly. I always have some twisted seams.

I thought I was the only one who did that.

Nope. I'm in the same club. I was supposed to be doing a UFO but I thought I'd do some L&E at the same time.
Two hours later, nothing was done on the UFO but I had nine 16 patch blocks !

I'm doing a two rail fence (color and neutral) rather than Bonnie's specific project. I'm using 2" x 3.5" rectangles as L & Es--they are starting to stack up! She had mentioned the possibility of rail fence before the challenge, and I've wanted to make Attic Steps for a while, so I started a bit early hoping that she would choose rail fence.
