- 28 setting triangles - nil completed

Well, I'm glad to say that I'm not depressed by this, 10 months in and 25 of the main blocks are complete.
With over 570 parts to this quilt, not taking into account that each of the 111 blocks is made up of a number of pieces, I think I can speed my progress up by completing some of the cornerstones, setting triangles and sashing strips each month too - at least it will visually look like I am speeding ahead!

I think your blocks are looking great. It doesn't matter how long it takes as long as you enjoy the process. I sew in front of TV like you. If I sit down with the needle in my hand, I make a start. If not, I get too comfortable and there is no progress on that quilt.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your progress - but don't hurry - enjoy it for as long as you can!
