Time's up

Well I work on these blocks like I said I would but was not able to get it finished. Because of it not as hot as  yesterday was,  I found myself out in the garden half the day. I did get over half of the top done and a good ideal of what it is going to look like.  Also after working on it yesterday I realized I did not have the fabric for the border. Did not get that far, so it didn't matter. 

I have to make a confession, I did not use the thangles. What I did was draw the marks that are on the thangles papers on the back of the strips. I do not like to rip out the papers. That is one reason why I do not do much paper piecing. Then the pieces that are around the center blocks I used Deb Tucker's ruler  the "Tucker Trimmer". To me it was easier and took less time.
 

What's left to do.
