Bogged down here too. Two new grandbabies in the last 6 months, DH been in hospital with ongoing problems and flat out at work. I have only done four blocks but am trying to get back into it.
Too many commitments and not enough time to do more than catch up on the threads.
Good to see you back.

Hey Gus....I'm still plugging on mine. Just keep adding more irons, but I'm on the outside border. I've gotten it quilted to that point as well though...so maybe I'll finish it in this lifetime.
Good luck to those dealing with less that happy health issues!

I love your blocks and your fabric is beautiful. I haven't touched mine in several weeks; I am working on 2 other quilts that must be done before May. I can't wait to get back to my quilt and finish it.

Anyone have any tips not in the book, or favourite thread to use??

Hi Woody and Joy. Are you following or intending to follow Kathy's original schedule (posted on page 1 of this thread) or are you starting from #1 in the book or being random?
Just asking out of curiosity as I started following the schedule but have only done four blocks and have been wondering whether to just pick and choose or follow the book or stick with the schedule.

I have just enlarged to 142% and printed out patterns 1 to 10 so I will do those first and see how I go. I plan to use batiks on a black background. Looking forward to finding the time to actually start LOL
