Close, But No Cigar!

July 28th. Time to reveal the fourth block of the Comfort & Joy quilt. You'll likely recall that I've been playing catch up on this one because I waffled for a couple months before deciding to take the plunge.

I THOUGHT I'd have it done. Of course, I didn't think I'd work late tonight and then be so tired I can barely keep my eyes open--sometimes Friday nights are like that, aren't they? So I didn't finish. So close, but yet so far. I still have a small applique block to make--just a bird with an embroidered sign; probably about two hours worth of work.

I DID get the main part of the block done, except for Santa's eyes, and I haven't quite decided on those yet. At least I can show you this:

I'll probably have the block finished this weekend and I'll show you the entire block four when I finish. In the meantime, you can visit Anne's blog, Cottons 'n Wool, and click to view the blocks by the other participants from there. (As I write this, she hasn't posted yet, but I know she will, so if you arrive a bit early for the reveal, check back with her a little later in the day.)
