Alas.....

...my March blocks won't be finished on time :( ..... although I had every intention of getting them done as I am really enjoying this project it just isn't going to happen....
March became an extremely busy month at work with numerous deadlines having to be met  - one would think that coming home to sew would help but no.... I was too tense to even think about sewing.... weekends became busy as well mainly for family reasons - and so the month of March started to slip away..... on the positive side though, I did start as you can see.....

............ hopefully I should catch up again through April!

Am enjoying seeing what everyone else is up to - very inspiring!

Happy Stitching
