Update May Chookshed Challenge

 At the start of the month this is where i was at with Owl & Hare Hollow. I knew i wouldn't get it into a top as there is just so much hand work in this quilt. Here is where i was at to begin with at the start of the month.


The 2 stitcheries were done

Then i spent many days prepping blocks & starting the hand stitching. 
Month 1.

Month 2. I went with buttonhole applique as needleturn just wasn't happening. That tail is so tiny, :)

Month 3

Month 4

Month 5

Month 6. The little pieced blocks are the outer border corner stones.
All i have left to do now beyond all the hand work is make a pieced border. That can wait until i'm ready to sew the blocks together. Now to get ready to start Junes challenge. :)

Happy Stitching,
