Thought I'd show progress so far. When books say that something is quick to make, I never really believe it, but this is what I've done so far, with just an evening's on-off sewing (some bits of 'One Born Every Minute' being too watchable to miss - makes me laugh and cry!) and about an hour squeezed in today between more pressing jobs. I think it's pretty fast progress...
Hidden in the piles are all 18 nine-patch blocks, 5 of the 17 snowball blocks, a few short strips to go towards the border and all the cut squares for the rest of the snowballs. Boo hiss I'm working tomorrow, but I'll try to squeeze a bit more in all the same.
Oh! PS Did you read this story today!

Lovely news, but I have to say that if I was the generous woman who had gone through all that, I don't think I'd be pleased to be called 'our gestational carrier'! Sounds like some kind of futuristic robot!

That looks like a lot so far to me! I fancy having a go at quilting, not sure when I'll find the time though. I shall look forward to seeing your progress.
