'D' for Done

I think now that I have this block (D) done I'm all up to date Chookyblue. 
 Maybe that spell of sickness has done me just a little favour - you see I got all of the stitcheries done when I couldn't get to the machine, now all I really have to worry about are those piddley little squares that we all have to sew so many of.  The best part though is knowing that I'm not doing it alone and that Miss Chooky will be there to whip us into shape with her feather duster if we do start to slacken off. 
Yeah, I feel like I'm on a roll.
Have a great week
hugs

Hey Miche'le! Looking good!! Love the splashes of unexpected purple in there - I've been trying to add a few purple puddles too! :0) Glad you're on the mend and back to playing on your machine - I don't think I'll try your method of getting up to date with the stitcheries though! :0) Bear Hugs! KRIS
