Chookyblue's progress.........

ok so I am being hassled and questioned by Helen and Bec.................(I told them to keep kicking my butt along)...........but between the hassling and the huge boost of motivation with all the posts this year and seeing so many blocks coming together and tops coming together and talk of quilting I  have been busy stitching.........
Anni these cobs of corn were nearly my demise..........how long does it take to finish 3 cobs of corn.............I had put it off and off and off again............but today finally I got it finished, washed and pieced together...........

BLOCK D done
Watch out for more progress VERY VERY soon...........
Catch you later..............
