March is Done

They're finished! My March blocks are finished. 

To be honest, I finished them a few days ago, but we've had a busy few days so taking a daylight photo had been what was holding me back from sharing. 



Those star flower blocks were a little tricky and my points aren't the pointiest they could be, but I figure once it's all together, they won't be noticeable.

I have enjoyed the stitching. Rather than blanket stitch, I've used back stitch, stem stitch and chain stitch.


Guess what?!? I have my April blocks cut out. Yes, really!
