I made it through cutting the blocks for the first row!  Hooray!  One of the blocks in the #2 pile has a flaw -- I cut one of the blocks short -- so I had to piece it.  I don't think anyone will notice after the quilting is done.  While I was taking the photo, I noticed that two of the blocks in the #6 pile are too wide.  Other than that, I'm ready to sew the first row.  I plan on doing this before cutting the blocks for the second row -- just so I won't start feeling overwhelmed by piles of blocks all over the place.

I'm off to Thursday!  :-)
