Changing a PHD

The PHD being referred to is not rocket science or micro bionics, rather it is a long neglected Project Half Done.  I had an idea to do a Calendar Quilt, with different images for each month.

Years and years ago I got this far:

January

 February
 
March

But I went off the blocks, so it never got any further.  I remembered it as I was doing the paper piecing yesterday as, as you can probably see, the January snowflake had been paper pieced.

Today I decided to look at doing the designs as machine embroidery instead

So here is the new January

I'm not sure what I'll do with these blocks, but I do think I'll keep going with the designing

    Love that explanation of PHD! Is there one for BSc, perhaps -blocks semi completed?

    You are ahead of the game already, February and March sorted and it is not even the end of January! As it is a perpetual calendar too, you have oodles of time to work on it :)

    Love the stitched snowflake, so much more delicate than the pieced version. Good luck with your PHD!!
