Renewed, Well, Slightly

The last two weeks
have been super productive.
My applique quilt has really moved forward.
It's funny,
if you actually work on something,
you do make progress.


I taped all the blocks and the first panel
 
 on my daughter's kitchen wall on Monday.
It gave me direction for the week.

Monday
 
I was quickly reminded that I never had
appliqued the circles on these two blocks.
 So Monday was a two step backward day.


But now these blocks are finally finished.

Tuesday

I got out the freezer paper
and traced the top panel and


cut out all the shapes.

Wednesday
 Out came the picnic baskets
that I've been using to store my fabrics
just for this quilt.

It was a day of auditioning.

Thursday

The first pieces were glue basted to the background.

Then a few more.


I even had a few moments to start appliqueing

Today

It's a short day because it's my
day to head home.
So I'm going to just make more circles.


My experiment
was certainly positive.
And I definitely feel good
about the progress I made.
It actually helped to renew my desire to finish.

I want to keep it
center stage, at least for awhile.
Just think if I did,
I might surprise myself how 
quickly I could actually finish my Roseville Album.

Until Next Time-
