Well finally, with the time difference being favorable to me, I managed to put together another 3 blocks – taking my total to 8 – one short of the maximum. Fingers crossed now as the draw is near. I could very well see a lovely African Violet wall-hanging in my bedroom as it would be the right colour scheme. Dreaming, dreaming – before I am off to prepare diner....

I made two more blocks this morning. Had planned to have more, but one had to be redone and I threw in the towel. It was a beautiful block and I hope to make more of these when I don’t win :). Sorry about the photo quality. My vacation photos did not upload last night; that proved a problem for this morning’s violets. Hopefully the long weekend will help me get a head start on next month’s...

I always seem to be squeaking in at the last minute with these, don’t I? Oh well, better than not getting in at all I guess. I had 9 all cut and ready to go, but 2 ended up totally wonky in the middle for some reason and no amount of fiddling seemed to be helping and then one ended up too small when I trimmed, so 6 it is. Good luck...
