Love the way it's looking.
I learned a lesson with my avatar bargello. Since that one I now cut and lay out all the strips, but I don't sew them all together until I can stand back and look at it as a whole unit. With my avatar I decided to change the pattern AFTER I had sewn all the strips together. It wasn't fun picking all those seams out ... but I am so pleased with the result. It was worth it.
