Chooky... I've got 24 blocks finished.... and just the one quilt together and being quilted. The other 12 blocks are still in pieces.
I'm so amazed at everyone's progress! It's so exciting to see!
Well isn't that ALL just great news. Nice to see all our encouragement & your cracking of the whip is helping....
I think the encouragement (and whip) really is an awesome force. It's almost like it's power takes time to build and is at an all time high now some 18 months or so into the life of this blog. I think there's magic at work here people!
Thanks for the update Chooky!! Yes, my stitching all done, just need to clear the dining table to cut the fabric and sew! Single parenting for over a week now with three kids and one with croup - would rather be sewing!!! hehehe. Am enjoying watching everyone else's work though..seems all I have time for is a view some blog posts then I just crash!! Happy stitching everyone.

You're doing a great job motivating everybody Chooky!!! Ive finished stitching Block B...just have to get it together...am in a middle of a workshop thing but hopefully soon...Dzintra
Great to see so many motivated (is it the threat of that whip hmmm)and the GJ tops are beautiful..Awesome seeing all the different colour ways wioth the TIS,cheers Vickie
Hi Chooky,
No borders yet, I've been doing some road testing and a couple of swaps but I hear the whip and will get it done!
Oh you are making me feel guilty! I haven't started June blocks yet...my sewing mojo seems to be missing. Hopefully things will return to normal when kids back to school next week!
