A Virtual Kick

OK Chookyblue, I got the hint and the 'virtual' kick up the backside.  I haven't been 'slacking' on the stitchery front, really! Look!



I am still stitching and am up to date as far as the months go, however, I have chosen to leave all the piecing until the end - sorry, I know that the piecing is part of the SAL but I just haven't decided on fabrics for it so rather than make a bad decision I'd rather wait until the end and see what suits.
Chookyblue, if I'm in for a walloping please make it with a wet bus ticket *wink*
How are the rest of you going?
have a great day

HI Miche'le. Your blocks look lovely. And I totally understand about the sashings etc, but unofficially I would say you are more than up to date. Its the final deadline that counts the most.

Wow Miche'le, lots of work done there. Can't wait till you choose your sashing fabrics and get it all together. It's going to look amazing!
