February blocks

Made it on time. Great to have the extra day this month. Thankyou Chooky-Blue for reminder. My strawberry ice-cream was a must on a hot summers day. When my friends and I went out for our stitching shop we would stop for Hot Chocolate and marshmallows. I`ve added my Bible as my good read sometime each day. Then there`s my bottom border ready to go.
Well I`m ready for next months part. Really pleased with quilt top so far. Till next month,thinking of fabrics for that now.
Happy Stitching Clare.

I like that you included the Bible...I'm thought about doing that.
Did you top stitch your blocks, they look like they're outlined.
