Final Push

 

Over the course of the week, I finished sewing 4 sections of the side panels, and discovered a section (top left) that was only 1/2 sewn.  I'll do the vertical seams when I do the last 4 panels. 

The top and bottom left panels are fused and ready for stitching.  I am out of 50% of the original fabrics, so did some clever substitutions.  Laid down the fabrics that I did have, and filled in with similar options. 

This morning I organized what was left of the original colors.  Added 7 more substitutes from the stash.  Will do my best to match colors to the original where it meets the other panels, and freestyle the rest.  As par for this project, I seem to be a panel short of the fusible.  SIGH.
