Project Carol - I have been busy..

Hi Everyone, today i thought would give you all an update on how Carols blanket is progressing.. I recieved lots of gorgeous squares already and have been edging them in one colour so that they are all the same size and will look better when i come to stitching them all together... Ty so much to everyone that has made squares i am so thrilled at all of the help that i have been offered and recieved.. To be honest with you i am totally blown away by the kindness that you have all shown.. It means alot to me and i know that my sister will be so touched when she finds out.. It will be a truly special gift... I have took some pics so that you can see what i have done to the squares.. I hope everyone likes them.   God bless.. xx Channelle xx
