I finished stitching the Jan and Feb blocks together this morning. I took them outside for a little photoshoot - it was a very cold and frosty morning here in the UK today. I made just one change - to the hot chocolate block. I'm not a big fan of hot choc but I am a huge fan of coffee so my mug is a mug of hot coffee instead.
The first picture is of my top and bottom borders. Thank you so much for the reminder to make these now as I'd totally forgotten and wasn't planning to make them until the end.
The second picture is of the Jan and Feb blocks stitched to the December blocks. Each time I make a new block I think it's my new favourite, they're all lovely.
I'm itching to start on the house block now but will hold off a little while and work on a couple of other projects first of all. I don't need much encouragement to stitch the blocks themselves but being part of the stitch a long is definitely keeping me on track stitching the sashings and borders together.

They look lovely - sometimes its hard to just do them in order isnt it? I am itching to stitch the shoes and I am sure I wont wait til its scheduled - I will just have to keep them under wraps.
well done Theresa.........it's looking great.........remind us when you post March's blocks that you have the top strip done too........

I've been looking at some fabric for my house, too...and trying to decide if I want it to be a 2 story house as I live in a one level ranch style.

They look fantastic! Yes, it's easy to forget the filler blocks. I think they are more easily tackled as you go along too. Well done!
so pretty...
