Update

Well, after a couple of weeks the momentum has returned! 
I cut all those little squares but then fell into a hole and Nature's Journey was no longer happening :( ..... but yesterday the sewing machine was out and humming away as I was on the "Journey" again.... a little way to go but there will be further updates later in the week!
And, how inspiring are those lovely finished tops (or quilts)!

Happy Stitiching

oh no...so was this a 'hurt yourself' hole or do you mean you needed to take a break from sewing your NJ? If you did indeed actually physically fall into a hole, I sure hope you are okay now. If you took a break then good for you....thats' okay...take one day at a time. Soon you will be finished your quilt and will be so happy with your Journey! Good Luck

Probably like a lot of us - too many projects on the go - but sometimes you just need a break...welcome back!!

All these little squares make spinning our head !!!
That's probably why you fell in a hole ! ;)
