I have 
wanted to get back on to this project for a while, but unfortunately the last few months have seen me rather unwell, injured (with a hyperextension injury in my wrist - not fun!! ... I 
do not recommend getting one of these!!), and then unwell again and I just haven't been able to get onto any of my sewing commitments/plans.
Now Chooky has cracked the whip ... I am well ... and I am taking some time off from my studies ... there is some movement!  The 'old blue jeans block' ...
|  | 
| Jeans block prepared for needle turn appliqué... Square of fabric at top left is ready for *was 'cupcakes* block.
 | 
I have gotten one leg sewn so far, and am hoping to finish this block tonight ... Pellon, cut to size, is sitting ready for fusion.
|  | 
| My current set-up for sewing ... like my tin of 'Superior Threads'? | 
Then I *really* need to get on to finishing this mini before I can do too much more of the stitching for SKoW...
|  | 
| Needs needle turn & stitchery to be done, sandwiched, quilted & bound :)  ASAP!! | 
I previously had the 
umbrella, 
cup of tea & 
suitcase blocks finished.

| My previously completed blocks 
 
 
I also finished the cupcakes block, but I am not in the least happy with it; plus I have decided that really, cupcakes aren't one of my favourite things ... and, inspired by all the adaptions by the other ladies, I have decided to replace this with 'pavlova' - my absolute favourite desert!!  I'm hoping to at least have the image for this block drawn up and fabrics selected by the end of the weekend, along with a February (chocolates block is ready, just needs to be sewn/stitched) & March's blocks at least prepared for next week ... 
 
This next month & a half is gonna go quick! ... Better get back to it!! |

You're making good progress - sorry for you health issues - I particularly like your jeans & suitcase. And a pavlova block sounds like a great idea.
Its good to see your progress but your health has kept you from working on it so that is understandable. I would love to see more of the mini. It looks like a cat and I might be interested in the pattern.
