I used the donation blocks as leaders and enders, of course.<\/p>\n<p>I figured out that each donation block has 15 seams. I made about 6 in the course of several hours of sewing, which means I sewed somewhere in the neighborhood of 180 seams total. That is between the En Provence pieces and\u00a0 the donation blocks. I did a couple of other things in between as well, so my total is probably a few more.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the seams are short, which means they are quick, but I am making progress.<\/p>\n<div
