          I felt like this month went a little faster. Yes, there were 36 arcs to paper piece, but they were not as "fiddly" as the paper piecing in months 1 and 2. The curved piecing does require careful pinning, but after a couple of blocks I "got into the zone" and it really was fun and relaxing. Watched a lot of Netflix reruns this month!

              I think that it actually took me longer this month. There are 72 arcs by the time you do the inner arc and then the outter arc. It's a lot pinning! But they look so cute when you get them done.

                Wow Gail - I agree with Rita - you certainly don't look old enough to be married 46 years. Congratulations!

                        Gail: congratulations for your anniversary! I thought you married at 10

                        Susan: Just for one set of 4, I spend about 2 hours (once everything was printed, ironed and cut). I guess that for the rest, once I start chain piecing, somewhere between 8-10 hours will be sufficient.

                        I SHOULD GET BACK ON THIS THIS WEEKEND!!!!

                            Which method are you using? Striplate or Paper Piecing?

                              I am NOT paper piecing. I am following Pat's instructions and the previous two months had grain lines marked on the templates

                                Thank you all so much for your lovely comments, much appreciated.
                                Sue, although I didn't time this months work, to me the work load seemed similar to the last 2 months. The upshot is you still have half the month left so I'm sure you will romp it in
