SKoW Continues

Well there is no way I am going to get my quilt top made up before the end of the year, just a few hours away.  But, I have made progress.  Most of the blocks all stitched now, just the friends block and the sewing block to finish the stitching on and all blocks made.  I do have a lot of the squares all cut to start joining, so I will plod along with that.  I am not going to rush it after all the hours I have put into stitching and I really want this to be the quilt it is intended to be.  One with love in it.


Here is progress so far with blocks....


I will watch from the sidelines at what the next SAL is, and I bet it will be a beauty.  Happy New Year to you all and of course happy stitching and quilting too.

Oh on looking at those photos, I have not put the cat's name tag on.... a wee job for tomorrow.

Thank you so much Chookyblue for all your encouragement and support for this SAL for everyone.  You are a star!
