If I would only stay home once in awhile, maybe I'd get more done on this behemoth, I mean quilt. If you've been following my blog you would know that this is a collaboration between
Kathy Loomis and me. I blogged about it
here. She designed it and started the piecing and I am finishing it and will do the quilting. It is huge (about 7 1/2 ft. wide) and involves some very tricky piecing. The top half of the semicircle is now pieced. Each row is a new challenge, but I am plugging away. I used up most of the little dark pieced sections I had made and will have to make a lot more before I continue. I can also see where I'll have to recut some of the big pieces, again.
I thought I would get a lot more done since I was home all day, a rarity. But I photographed a quilt for my SAQA Porfoloio entry and that took forever for some reason, made a pie for guests who are coming over this evening, and this and that. I don't know where the time goes. I didn't get to my studio until late afternoon. The rest of the week and weekend are pretty full so I don't think I'll get much done. Slow and steady wins the race. Stay tuned.

Norma -- I am so proud of you!! this is looking great -- probably better than if I had finished it myself.
I was interested in this project when you blogged about it earlier, so I am glad to see it coming back to the top of your stack. Good luck, and I'll be watching for more progress reports.

It's really looking good.
Ohhh, I like what you are doing...
This looks wonderful. LOVE the colors. Of course the left side looks like little pieces. However, if I can get my mind aroung 7.5 feet, they are NOT small. The quilt is HUGE.
About not staying home: PLAY while you can!
Ann,
The pieces on the left are quite small. Most of the strips are about 1/4" to i/2" or less.
I can't wait to see this, hopefully in real life!
