It is slow going, but I find it very relaxing. I do have to learn to say no now and then though. I'm really far behind on my Farmer's Wife blocks and should get those caught up before taking on a new project. I'll still have to mull this one over for awhile to see if I'll really have the time to do it. The border would take forever.

My first thought was needle turn also - a block a month, no problem, right? BUT then I started considering the border, it might never get finished if I tried it by needle turn. So I'm going to try a technique new to me - invisible machine applique. I hope I can do it justice, it'll be a learning experience I'm sure. I'm going to try a couple simpler sample blocks and see if I can get decent at it. If not, I'll have to decide on a different method. If I had the time I would do this needle turn, though, as I love that process.
