    I've finished all the first blocks except for the embroidery. I'm doing mine using black & white prints and solid white.

    I love the idea of it being done in scraps! Dori, do you have any pics? I would love to see it!

    Well shoot! I really didn't plan to do this quilt........however I did print the the pattern from the 1st instalement, .......but after seeing the scrappy blocks (scrappy is my favorite!) I may just have to go get to work!! What ever is a gal supposed to do! I have so many projects started, needing to be finished and then I start another? I'm 75 years old. I hope I live long enough to finish at least a few more! But its soooo much fun "starting" a new project!!
