WIPW - The Last Piece in Place

 Work In Progress Wednesday reports on a good reason to celebrate. Look at Hexablooms, below:

Hexablooms

I have made the final hexagon piece.

I added it to the flower that will be in the lowest right-hand side corner.

Here I am joining the sections together with needle and thread,

Voila!

Now, it should be time to celebrate. Alas, the quilt is only halfway finished.

Here is the list of things yet to do: 

1) join the blocks together into a long 'snake' = row #17

2) add the long snake to row #16, and the flimsy will be complete

3) stitch on a turn-over binding edge for the backing.

4) sandwich with batting and backing, or think of a creative new idea for the back...

5) quilt with embroidery stitches, using metallic thread

6) embellish the white pieces with something metallic

7) add some form of hanging sleeve

78) display on the wall

What year shall we set the goal at? 2027 or 2028?

Sashiko Kitchen Cloth

 The cloth is slowly gaining stitches, a small step at a time.
