Finally....the center blocks are done!

I think this has taken nearly a year, but is such a labor of love. Helen has her 84th birthday on Sunday and I am going to take it over to her. She gets to see it, then back home with me to finish up. I have 12 blocks around the these blocks and have the first of them nearly done. I really struggled over the embellishments on the doll block, and finally settled on what you see.

                                                                             

A lot of the embellishments are from Helen's sewing room...hope she likes it. Happy Birthday girlfriend!
