Very Merry Work in Progress

Slow, but steady.  That's my approach.  Here's what I have so far laid out at random...

Work in Progress


Piecing in the spiderweb block style is surprisingly time consuming!  I've gained a new admiration to those who have completed a large spiderweb quilt.  Good thing my Christmas tree skirt only requires 14 finished blocks!  I'm pacing myself at 1 block per night (that's 4 triangles).  After the piecing, the pressing/trimming of that 1 block takes the entire 45 minutes of a show.  Well, at least it comes at a good time when I'm short on handwork!

I have to say that I believe I'll continue to favor quick-piece projects.  Notice how the 2 large quilts I've made have large pieces.

I love the rush of beginning a project.  I feel satisfied and happy by completing them.  The in-between part?  Well, it's kind of blah sometimes!
