It was not quite as easy as I expected to complete all the sections for Mr. Snowman. I had three wrong pieces in this pre-assembly jigsaw, which I did not discover until I began sewing them all together. Tiny lettering of bl2 and br2 are pretty hard to differentiate when you are sewing along in a paper piecing daze--I had a blue tree trunk and a blue hand before I redid them.
I could use them for at least six weeks each year. It would be a lot of work to make five more and then make the covers, but I have 11 months to get them finished. We shall see.
Aimee, is the gift box the polka dot fabric you were asking about? If so, it came from Joanne's just a few weeks ago. Since Joanne's is the only fabric store in my town, most of my fabric comes from there.
I hope everyone is enjoying the last few hours of their Christmas weekend. I know I had a busy and fun weekend. It feels good, though, to have it all over. Now I can just sit at the computer and check out the blogs.

But I finally figured it all out and got the 16-inch block finished.
Now I am thinking of making 5 more and turning them into chair covers for my dining room. I pinned one on a different chair cover to get an idea of what it would look like. Hmmmm...perfect size....
