Yankee Doodle

DONE! These were the swap blocks from last month's guild meeting, expanded with alternating hourglass blocks and a homespun border. I just finished stitching the binding last night.

I use patriotic decor during June and July, so I was in a hurry to get this one completed. Right now it's on the back of the loveseat in the sitting room, but any day now (ahem -- we're almost at the one-month mark) when the painters are done it will be out on the front porch over a rocker.
