Plan of action was to originally paper piece each different component.
So I could piece the quilt with all the parts ready.
I started to doubt that I could turn this...
...into this.

| Still available to buy if you have the patience |
So I've changed tack now and decided to start assembling it as I go; paper piecing each block as I need it.
And so now I feel it is going better.
The end may not necessarily be any nearer in sight.
But at least doing it this way, it feels like it is.
Looks like this will be an epic journey! Definitely deserving of some long arm services when you are done.

ReplyDeleteOH.WOW. This is going to be a-mazing!
ReplyDeleteOh a squillion perfect points, have I pointed out that I don't like you recently!
ReplyDeleteWow! If all I'd seen were the pattern, all I'd think was, blah, I would never make that in a million years. Seeing what you've done I want to start right away!
ReplyDeleteI love how this is coming along.
ReplyDeleteThat is one ambitious project! It looks like you are well up to the task :)

ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt! I like your version better than the pattrn photo. I've never tried paper piecing but you are tempting me to try. Can't wait to see your quilt grow....
ReplyDeleteWowwowwowwowwow.
ReplyDeleteStunning! I really like making a quilt this way over making all the bits and then having to put them together at the end. You get to look at this loveliness as you go.
ReplyDeleteall those scraps come together so nicely to make ONE amazing quilt : )
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I love the quilt on the pattern and like the way yours is coming along! Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to dive into something like this :) Keep on going! I heard a saying today which says: You don't have to be the fittest, fastest, strongest, just have to be consistent... :)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great challenge, and thanks for showing us. It is certainly looking quite delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, it's amazing!! Have fun (and don't do what I'd do and dither over every fabric choice/placement!!), I can't wait to see more of it!
ReplyDeleteWouh! That does look like a complicated pattern! But very beautiful, congratulations!
