I was able to do the outsides of the blocks - in fact I have enough for at least two months...back in February I tried the blanket stitching ...it was just wasn't me so I'm using chain stitch. Today when I did get a chance to tackle the pears I tried needle turn - again it wasn't working for me. I figure making a quilt should be fun & enjoyable and whilst I understand the need to challenge myself occasionally - this is not the time.
So, here is my progress and I will be back with the rest when I can - probably over or after Easter.
This doesn't stop me cracking the whip over the rest of you!!

It's not good when life gets in the way. It is reassuring that we all gave great intentions but can't meet the deadline. You'll be fine. I have stayed with needle turn well a variation using iron on stuff! I am working the blanket stitch edge. Chain stitch will look great too.
March has just flown by for me too ... Happy Stitching ;)))
Hope you will find time soon !

go for it Susan........life is always interrupting our sewing time.....
It takes time for us to keep 70 plus people on track too.......enjoy some sewing time over easter I know I am going to........
backgrounds look good.....
It helps to know that even you and Chooky have trouble keeping up, that way we don't feel so bad when we're late.......I've made a few adjustments also to fit my skills....sometimes I feel inclined to go back to the machine applique method but I'm still trucking along......I get cramps in my fingers working with such small pieces, though.

Hey Susan, your chain stitch borders look beautiful. Hope life settles down a little for you!
Now that's not fair Susan. Hope to be finished with 3 blocks to go and one day to do them. Hugs....
Gotta do what suits you looking good sending huge hugs xx
We are all human...even you and Chooky! Hope life slows up for you. Don't forget to take care of yourself too! Happy Stitching!
