My Friday Night Sew-In Results!

I got a bit of an early start for the FNSI and got started late afternoon before heading off to athletics. I cut out all the squares and triangles for the border of my chicken quilt. I even managed to sew one block together!
At athletics I worked on some secret sewing and did a bit more when we got home while watching the tennis. Of course, this is all you can see at the moment!

Happy Australia Day to all my Aussie friends!

Cutting out always takes the longest so it won't take long to sew your blocks. The finished one is lovely. Hugs....
