Some more progress


For the last week or two I have been working on my SKOW quilt, just a bit here and there, making not very much progress.  So I signed up for last night's FNSI as an incentive and really got stuck in. I managed to sew on the applique pieces on quite a few blocks and have traced the wording on ready for stitching.

These are the blocks I worked on last night.



I only got part way through sewing on the best friends, my finger just couldn't take any more stabs with the needle!

I love how this project is coming along now that I am back into it.  Many thanks to Chookyblue for the encouragement along the way, and the daily countdown which has really kicked my butt into gear.
