It has been some weeks since I last reported any progress on my EPP project, Lake Effect. The pattern is by Minick and Simpson, and I have been working on it for about a year and a half. Mostly I stitch on the Friday's when the Frankfort Girls meet, but I try to work on it at other times, too, especially while watching television. Here's a link that shows the quilt and refers to the next step - applique.
Individual hexies have been stitched together, and I am getting close to the point at which I could make this start looking like a quilt. I will soon cut the white (or off-white) strips for the appliqued panels, and will then need to do the applique - still a giant question mark as to my method for that.
In the foreground of this picture, you can see the stack of 6-unit hexies that I am using to build the various sections. I still have a good bit of work ahead of me, to be sure.
Seeing all these parts gives me hope that my quilt will come together much sooner than the 10 years I originally predicted. *grin*
I have linked up to Kathy's Quilts and her Slow Sunday Stitching blog party. Go take a peek at some awesome handwork!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
This is a beautiful project!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty project you have growing in your house!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be such a lovely quilt. I doubt it will take 10 years, you just need to remind yourself that every stitch brings you closer to the finish. Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteYou are making good progress with this project. It's interesting watching how it grows over the months.
