Block 5 put me officially at the halfway point and I really enjoyed doing it. The "sand" fabric, used on the sand castle looks even better than I thought it would and certainly made for a great result. This block had almost 84,000 stitches and took me almost 6 hours. It is very detailed and I made an error at the mid point and had to spend an extra hour or more to carefully remove some stitching. That's what I get for turning my back and letting the machine go on "auto pilot" while I showered for work. I'm now starting to think about borders. Going to have to look at some more nautical fabrics to audition. I'm thinking of doing several different borders with a solid in between so that I don't distract from the picture it self. I am hoping that I can finish it this weekend. Today is a busy day with TNT block of the month class and also EQ club, so more of a "learning and spending" Friday with the girls. Happy Sewing! Carole
