One Monthly Goal- March's Goal Completed or Not

 This month I set myself the goal to finish the last 6 American Honey blocks. You can find my original post here.

These are not small blocks and they take a bit of time to make with 20 pieces per block. So you have to make the sub blocks first lay out your block before you can sew the block together. Well in the end I didn't make it. I did get 3 of the blocks completed. That is at least half of the blocks done. 

You may see this one pop up in my challenges again soon. These blocks are so beautiful. I can't believe I have not finish them as I love every block when I complete it.

Until Next Time
