WORKING ALONG----

I am not totally done--yet!!!!
but here is where I am at so far--
some more blocks that are done--
I am thinking about adding the words--talent, time, and love to the packages????
I now also have row 3 sewed into a stripe--
 and it has been 'approved' by Miss  Gracie!!!!!
I also have row 5's blocks sewed together--
but need to sew row 4 first for the best color ways to look good!!!!
and that is where I am now--
on the last two blocks of row 4!!!
I am adding another block to row 4 and that is nearly done--
then just have the 'sewing' block to do--
and mine will be a bit different from the book?????

As I live in the states--I still have the rest of this evening and all day tomorrow to finish the blocks and sewing them into strips--so I best get busy????????
Hugs, Di and kitty miss gracie
