FNSI Results -- Orca Bay & Stockings for Kids Giveaway

Well, I worked from about 9pm until 2:30am.  I have FIFTEEN blocks of  Orca Bay step one DONE.  Whohoo! 

When Bonnie says neutral, I say neutral.  When Bonnie says black, I say yellow.  We'll see how that works.  I like the little blocks.  They are all squared up and ready to go.  I'm not a fan of cutting.  BUT the best news is that if I counted correctly, all my little blocks for this step are DONE!

I LOVE chain sewing.  I also like chain pressing.  Now that the hard part (the cutting) is done, I'm good to go.  These are the results of my first FNSI.


**********************************************************************************
This week I registered for the 2012 FMQ challenge.  It's like a block a month with tutorials.  I really need to improve my FMQ skills and like I always say... It's only ONE block a month.  LOL.  Click on the button on my sidebar.
