As I was re-organizing my quilting space, I came across several baggies of pieces for Women of the Bible blocks. Now, I started this project in August of 2005. There are a total of 52 blocks, and I chose to hand piece all of them at 6". What was I thinking? If you do one per week, you can finish in a year, right? I had finished through number 32 by April of 2006. Then I moved back to the U.S. from Suriname, and got completely sidetracked. I have all the templates printed and, as I found, a few baggies ready to throw into my handpiecing kit. I found number 34 (I skipped 33 for some reason) all finished except for the little circle in the middle that needed to be appliqued on. So, last night, I SEWED THE CIRCLE ON! Does that officially mean that I have started this project again? I hope so. I had been posting picture of the blocks with some comments for each of them on my webpage. If you'd like to see them, they are here. This is the one I finished, called "Heart's Desire." The circle isn't terribly round, but it's done. It is for the Shulammite woman in the Song of Solomon. I only have two more left to finish the Old Testament, and then there are only 19 left to finish all of them. When I look back at the ones I finished, I'm pretty impressed. I keep thinking, "Did I make that?"
