Very Merry Work in Progress
Slow, but steady. That's my approach. Here's what I have so far laid out at random...
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!
