Women of the Bible Sampler Blocks 39 & 40

The last two!  

Block 39 - Elizabeth   10 inches.

Block 40 - Mary     15 inches.

Those are the last of the main blocks in this sampler.  I still need to make all the filler blocks...and there are 22 of them!  I haven't even begun to do them yet.  They aren't very big and they aren't hard (flying geese, 4 patches and pinwheels).  I've been procrastinating because of color placement.  I decided today that I'll just sew them as I go along putting together the top.  Its sewn in 5 different sections.  That way I can lay out the section and choose fabrics to balance out that particular part. I think I'll be be most happy doing it that way.  
I really, really, really don't want to lose steam on this quilt and have it end up in my never ending u.f.o. pile!  I'm so bad at getting distracted with new projects.  
Not this time.  Nope.

Join the CLUB! I've been distracted all Summer. Other stuff has kept me from tackling my UFO's Pile and my TBQ Pile keeps growing with Flimsies waiting to be put on the Quilting Table. I Love the Elizabeth and Mary Blocks! Mary looks a bit like the Farmer's Daughter.
