Well I am way behind but am still chugging along. I gave up just the other day on hand piecing all the 1 1/2" squares. I hand pieced all of them into two but once I got to the four 1 1/2" blocks I gave up.
Then I made a huge mistake and machine ALL of the two patch units into blocks of four - then I read the instructions........Only 27 (?) were required. doh!
I really wanted to see some of these squares attached to a block as my goal by the end of next week (I am going away on Sunday for four days and won't be by the machine) is to have the first row completed.
I have yet to stitch my little 'string' for my tag.....
Finding these chocolate blocks terribly difficult as I think I have used some 'drill' cotton scraps and its quite thick.
I have another two blocks already cut out with applique ready to be sewn to take when I am away.
So my motto is slowly but surely.
Keep up the great work everyone.
Happy Stitching
