Hanne's progress

I must admit I fell off the wagon a while back, but now I am back, and aiming at finishing this lovely quilt within the given timeline.

I refuled the project 12 days ago, and have since then done these 9 blocks.

I am now doing my blocks what I call Bingo Style - that is picking blocks here and there - doing them in a very un-numeric order, always picking the block I want first.  That is how I did both the Dear Jane quilt and the Nearly Insane quilts - it works for me :-)

Now I have 16 blocks down and 8 to go.
The last 8 blocks are the more work intensive ones, but as I have been working, my needleturn skills has improved and it gets easier and easier.
Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Hanne
