Chooky's Block I and blocks together..............

VERY late last night just before midnight I finished the last stitchery and washed it out and dried it with the hair dryer so I could piece the last bit of block I.
Then of course I couldn't go to bed without joining the last few blocks together.

Hopefully borders tonight.............No ideas what yet............
Keep Stitching............
