On to the next...

Remember this project? I began this quilt top in Michigan, and of course didn't finish piecing it (or even get close, I was still obsessively arranging blocks) by the time the renters arrived for the summer, so I pinned all the pieces onto a queen-sized sheet, folded it up, and brought it back home...where it sat atop the stash boxes, a cruel daily reminder of my failure to finish it. Archie claimed it for a cat bed for a while, then I think he got stuck a few times by the pins and found somewhere less hostile to sleep.

I pieced parts of a few rows at some point, maybe a year ago, but mostly it went back and forth to Michigan as a "good travel project." It returned most recently in May, where I didn't even bother to take it out of the car.

Sorry, bad photo -- I'm still trying to figure out how to compensate for indoor lighting.

In the spirit of completion and straightening up my kitchen, I have gone back to it. Some of the pieces were so scrunched up, the only thing that's going to take the wrinkles out is a good washing after it's finished. After lots of ironing and some more obsessive rearranging to get the color balance, I can at least say most of the rows are sewn, and I've regained a small amount of enthusiasm for the project.

One by one, they're gettin' done!
