Just In Time

As you might have guessed, I didn't do anything on this quilt in July, but I have been busy stitching in August....
 This is the stitchery I did to replace the 
Pudding, so July's block is done.

 And here's August. I think I left one of the 
candy canes out.
 I realize it is most likely September in
Australia, but here in the U.S. it
is still August....In Alabama it is the 31st
at 3:30pm.
I have loved seeing what everyone is
doing and the colors and fabrics
being used...
I have been working on the Penny candle
mat and that will be my May 
project when it is done.....

Your blocks are lovely. I am a bit behind this month as I have been on grandchild minding duty and moving my 93 year old mother into aged care.

That's a great substitute block. I don't think you are missing a candy cane.
