I've been making some great progress today. All but two of these Poinsettia blocks are finished. I ran into a problem with some of the blocks on a couple of them so I'm going to have to re-cut some half square triangle pieces. Figures I'd have some problem, but it's not bad and I should… Continue reading Quiltville’s Carolina Christmas Mystery Quilt – Almost to Borders!!!
