February finished at last

Update on my February blocks... finished them today.  Have had visitors for 2 weeks and away for two weeks in February... hopefully I can get on track now.  Block 2 arrived in mail today so will start on that one asap...

I havent put the dots on some blocks as I think I will use buttons and havent decided if I shall put the date or my initials on the blank block either.... still need to trim down to size but will do that once all the blocks are finished and I start to put things together.

Great work - I few are leaving off those circles for now at least... I tried a pinwheel circle - hate it - need to re-think that one.
March is proving a difficult month for me . . .
