So far........


What a wonderful motivation this group is to get my beautiful quilt put together.  This has been an in between project over the last probably three years. 

When Chookyblue issued her challenge and the Stitch-A-Long was born all my stitcheries were complete and almost all of my fabric cut and sorted. 


One more block to put together and then to put the whole top together.  Excitement is growing here at Eleanor and Ruby. 



I am enjoying so much seeing the beginnings of so many different ideas and choices for this quilt.

Mine has been made completely from my stash, except I have purchased the borders. So much fun to Stitch-A-Long with you all.  Hopefully the final block will be put together today and maybe even begin to piece the top.   It's a public holiday here, so lovely to be at home with hopefully some time to stitch a little.
