Work in progress on this lovely quilt

Hi everyone,
I am Sylvia and I am looking forward to stitching this quilt.
Thank you, Chooky blue, for organising this blog and inviting us to stitch-a-long. I must admit I had decided to do this quilt by myself in December, even though I had promised not to start another large project until some UFOs were completed! I just couldn't resist. I have only been doing the stitching so just chose block each month to complete. I am not sure I can get all the blocks you have suggested done each month but will try. I should do the patchwork as we go as that would get it finished (not like the other stitchery ones!) I'll see how I fair in April. I have completed the following stitcheries.
The shed.
Watering the garden.
The home block.
The ladies.
Having those already done should help me keep up.
