It is a new year and time to get busy accomplishing some of the 50 goals I have set for 2021. Today I will do some hand stitching on yet another 50th Anniversary Quilt aka Ella block.
I had prepped quite a few in the fall that are not yet complete and there are a few new ones I haven't yet considered how to approach them.
I could take the easy route (no surprise) and work on this one.
Or this one.

So far I have 12 blocks complete, 9 appliques on the go, leaving another 29 blocks not yet started. The deadline is Aug 7. Well, the anniversary is Aug 7, but I should get this thing complete and quilted before then,
assuming that we can gather in groups of more than 50 by then.
This is the block I competed New Year's Eve while stitching along with Chooky and friends. I also spend a couple of hours tearing off the foundation papers from 10 blocks I sewed up earlier in the week. Not my favourite job but done for now.
