August - went nowhere fast!!!

 
After being so organised at the end of July I am now behind the eight ball at the end of August!!! I have been battling with the dreaded flu (or viral infection so the Dr says) all month and sewing has been the last thing on my list of to do's! So this is where I am up to and hopefully I will have the hand stitching finished by this weekend and then onto the borders of squares!
 
 
Not the best colour quality in this photo - it is much brighter and in your face!!

Sewing the diamonds on didn't really take all that long once I started. Pop a movie in and sew while you listen. That's how I do it. Hope you feel better soon.
