WIPs on Wed - July 27

I'm still making melons.  And I likely will be for some time to come.  These are stacks of 10, and when I realize that's 900 pieces that I've sewn together it does feel like a lot more progress.  

I'm not sure how big the quilt will end up.  I lost track of the pieced strips at some point, but think that's about 1/2. 

Remind me again why I set myself up to make things that require tons of piecing. Ack.

    Ah now, you decided to create this masterpiece, we all go through the 'why have I done this' stage at some point. But, think of the satisfaction you will have upon completion. Keep going, it will be worthwhile.

    That has certainly taken you a lot less time than if I were doing it! I love the way all those blues go together. Maybe you are making this to inspire your fans?

    I hear you on this one. I have a quilt in process (my flower block quilt) that I've decided will take me a year to do. So, maybe throw a quick one or two into the mix--ones that only take a couple of months!

    Having said that, I think the colors indicate that this quilt will be gorgeous, so press on, don't get discouraged and we'll check in to see your progress!

    It's going to be just beautiful. I think projects that take a lot of work are always some of my favorites when i'm done. : ) Well worth the effort. : )
