Nearly there but wont quite make it...

I know - lots of excuses but I do have a couple.  My BOM only arrived last Thursday so I started straight away but not finished yet.  Got all the stitching done and most of the  applique prep, but wont get it finished by tomorrow night as I have to go away for work tomorrow and not home till Saturday.

Hopefully finish by early next week. Hope May's BOM arrives a little earlier otherwise it is going to be a struggle each month!

Your blocks will come together very quickly now as you have all the prep work done. Enjoy!

It's good your prep work is done. The blanket stitch border seems to take me the longest to do. You have done very well. hugs.....
