WIP-it Wednesday...

...and there is progress!

Summer 9 Patch, in progress

No, I am not completing one square and then moving on to the next. If I finish a stitching a color in one square and there is a lot of floss left on the needle, I'll stitch another square that uses the same color until I run out of floss on my needle.
