Well I have been at it all day. It’s 9:30 now and I will do a bit more sewing strips but that will be it for today. I tried to get the entire top done, but alas, the spirit is willing but the body (and mind) just can’t keep up.
Here is where I was at 4pm
Here is what it looks like now. I am about 2/3 or 3/4 done with the top. I didn’t plan, I just made decisions as I went along. I used up a lot more of my stash than I would have thought! I didn’t measure (can you tell), and I used a scissor instead of a rotary blade. I didn’t even use a table, I just cut stuff on the bed and pieced it as I went along. I sewed strips and cut them and re sewed. How fun! The whole time I just kept thinking, “oh just one more piece and I’ll stop.” that’s how I stay in the moment. I have to trick myself. All hand dyed by yours truly except for the big pumpkin linen pieces. It’s 3 pieces- here are some close-ups. A bit dark -sorry about that.
i dye every day 
This takes my breath away!! You are going to have the most fantastic dreams under that beautiful quilt!

Very funny Christine! In the words of Aragon “You bow to no one!”
