Day one and day 10 206 pieces later
 

I have started a monster. wanting a 62 inch x 62 inch snuggle couch quilt for myself. Found this on an avitar and liked it.. the example was a beautiful blue. I am using fussy cuts on scraps. 206 pieces later and now where near the size ! 21 x 19 and irregular shape at that ! I need encouragement !!

All "sides" of diamonds and hexagons are one inch.

Day one and Day 10.

Hand sewn, right? It's beautiful and doesn't look wonky. I've never dared tackle this type of project. My daughter is sewing hexagons by hand and is enjoying it. I hope you keep at it until you finish. I also like how you showed your day one/day ten progress. I'll watch for your day 20! :D

Wow! Enough said.

that is beautiful I am working on a paper piecing project also

That is really pretty! It looks like a Rolling Star. I have made Rolling Stars before. Fun to do, but sometimes challenging. You are doing a great job with this one, and cannot wait until you finish.

quilt patis. both hexagons and 60 degree diamonds.. no other way for me.. ! love the thickness that deflects the needle.. have parkinson's ( isms) so great to hold on to like cards !! paper piecing .. would never attempt.. congratulations on your ablitieis and accomplishments using paper piecing !! :0)

You go girl. Your colors and hand piecing are beautiful. Your finished quilt will be awesome. I am looking forward to seeing it.

Its looking so pretty! Its more than I would attempt, just keep going so we can see the finished product.

i love the fabrics you are using. Keep going as it will be a beautiful quilt and you will enjoy snuggling under it!

I've been down a long road of not feeling great. One of the first stages was that it hurt terribly to lift my arms. I thought my days of quilting were over. But I can be stubborn too. So I decided to hand join baby blocks (another Y seam) I also hand quilted it. The years have changed my moans and groans, but I've stopped telling myself I can't do it. It may take longer, but I know we can both do it!

It's beautiful!

It is looking great! Keep going, it will be fantastic.

You're ambitious! :) Keep going - it's very pretty.

Just lovely,great job and thank you for sharing, keep on keeping on you will see light at the end of the tunnel and will have a treasure for life.
Have a Blessed day

Its going to be beautiful!

what is quilt patis? I think it is amazing that anyone can sew these smaller pieces and have them look so good. This is a wonderful project. I think it will look so good when you are done. It looks good now.

I love what you are doing!! I think there is a lot of satisfaction in hand work and projects that seem slow going. Our grandmothers would have thought nothing of time-consuming projects like this one. We buy up gorgeous fabrics so fast and can't find the time to make them into machine sewn simple quilts!! I have a quilting frame and love to hand quilt, but I keep feeling like it's gonna take so long to complete, but why does it matter? It's my hobby and what I love! Enjoy piecing your blocks together and you'll love it when it is completed.

looking good so far DON"T quit it bill be awesome when done. Keep going.

I love this pattern. Yours is looking great so far.Looking forward to the updates.

It looks wonderful so far! Better you than me - I just can't seem to work with such small pieces unless it is paper pieced! LOL

I think that is going to turn out beautiful. Don't give up. I have a hand piecing project I work on when we travel. It just takes time and patience.

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

perserverence makes its own rewards ... love what you've started! You should be so proud of what you've accomplished!

hello friday
 

Try and get 8 stars done today! Thanks for rhe encouragement!

Keep up the good work. its beautiful now an look even better as you add more. joyce j

nice
you are getting fast.

Can't wait to see the finished quilt!!!

You are doing an awesome job! Keep at it. Eventually it will be done and all you will remember is how beautiful the quilt is now!

I think you stated that perfectly. We are all in a rush, but unless we are working on a present for someone, who cares how fast it gets done. It should be about the process of doing what we love just as much as the finished projects. I enjoy having a long time consuming project that I can work on. That way I can work on it a little at a time as I feel like it and there is no rush to get it done.

Keep going. It is too beautiful to give up. Remember to pace yourself-piece one hour_rest one hour. We ate all behind you!

Beautiful!!! I've seen that pattern before!!

Yes, yes, & more yes! This is beautiful & I certainly admire your skill & determination! I can't wait to see this done (that's as close as I'll ever get to one since I'm too dumb & impatient to make one myself... LOL!).

that is beautiful

It is going to be gorgeous!!

I think it's looking great. You're doing a great job hand piecing. There's nothing as special as an old fashioned, hand pieced quilt. Can't wait to see it done. And by the way, it doesn't look wonky at all.

Wow! You've done great so far! You are making good progress, and I look forward to seeing more! :)

Its pretty but I'm guessing it will be a long term project

You have this as your icon!! They are larger pieces too! Wish i had known befor starting!! :0)

This is your icon! Larger pieces..wish i had started out that way. :0)

I thinkit is going to be beautiful...

Keep going. You can do it.
