My One Monthly Goal for December was to complete the 13 blocks with corner leaves to use for the borders of my 1857 Album Quilt. I out did myself this month. Not only did I complete these 13 blocks and cut them for the borders,
Now its time to change gears and start looking forward to the Rainbow scrap challenge block colour for January and Gay at sentimental stitches has something new up her sleeve for 2018. Can hardly wait. I wonder what colour I will choose? And what number for the 12 ufos for 2018 challenge. I will try to be patient.
New Year's blessings,

but I also made no less than 12 more blocks
bringing the total to 36. Several of these were started more than a year and a half ago but they are all complete now. I still need to do a bit of embroidery to finish up a couple then comes the fun part of assembling the top as a whole. I will rearrange some of the blocks to balance out the circles and I want each of the corner leaves to be different. I can get the little girls to help.
