I've come a bit further since the above picture. Now I've got about 8 more of those treacherous seams (sewing rows together) to go, then the border pieced to fit the outline. Must wait for additional fabric for that, so finishing the top completely will have to wait, but I hate to stop for fear that i'll lose momentum. This is by far the most difficult quilt i've made. I know, it's nothing compared to applique or paper piecing these blocks, but for me, sewing this together has been a real challenge. I notice, though, that the longer i do it, the easier it gets. You sort of develop a feel for how to sew this accurately, altho i also went through a phase, after things went surprisingly smoothly in the beginning, of being insecure and screwing it up, having to rip out a lot. Like so many things in life, it requires a leap of faith.

It's looking good. And sometimes we need that Leap of Faith, but also not being critical of ourselves. This is going to be a beauty. I've not made this pattern recently and am getting tempted. L
Wow, looks great! And I think piecing these blocks is the hard way to do them. Congrats on a great job!
Wow you've to much talent, very nice work
