H10 - Ben's Bowtie
Finished: February 2003
Completed block number: 53
Method: Hand Pieced

Well, I have had a bit of a break form my Dear Jane journey.  I used this time to prepare for the arrival of my son :-)
I spent the last few weeks of the pregnancy cutting and preparing blocks for my DJ, so now the entire thing is ready to go!!

I started making this block in the hospital - because we named my son Benjamin. It took me 3 weeks to finish it; when it was nearly done I realised I had accidentally turned the cornerstone blocks around the wrong way... but Finished is better than perfect! This way make more bowties, anyway!
