As promised, I pulled out Travel Quilt #5 and started to make some sense of the mess. With our mini vacations inside this big Greek trip, my travel sewing kit has been packed, repacked, repurposed, and tossed around far more than I'm comfortable with. Right now Travel Quilt #5 resides in a large salad bowl..
With all the chaos, I inadvertently switched the outer colors on some of the diamonds (so much for all that careful pre-trip planning I did back in NY) and now I see I have too many of certain outer colors and not enough balance in some rows. So for the moment I can't stitch much together until I finish some more. Motivation to keep going I guess?
Add links to photos (flickr/instagram) or blog posts of your current EPP work in progress. Tally how many stars (or other shapes) you have finished and how many you have left, and let us encourage you to keep stitching!
I really admire all the work that goes into stitching all of those little hexies! I've always wanted to do a hexie scrap quilt, but have never had the patience. Lovely work!
