September Update

This month's section is very involved...I don't think I'll finish it before the deadline.
The photo shows my two stacks of blue based 2" squares sewn together as instructed. I finished
 those yesterday morning.....
We have several events coming up, October will be busy also. I will just keep working
on Nature's Journey when I can and posting progress. 
The finished quilts I've seen so far are beautiful. Keep up the good work, girls.

That September deadline crept up very quickly!
I think a little bit when you can is the best way to tackle it - I have a pile of unjoined squares and now a pile of sets of 2...slowly getting there...

Keep sewing one seam at a time...soon you will be done. You are on the home stretch. Looking forward to seeing your NJ finished.
