That makes me happy to hear that this project has given you a little inspiration after 8 months. Quilters block is no fun.


Yes this entire project at this point is needle turn appliqué, I am working from the inside out on every aspect of it. And the background will be as well because of the shape. Since I will only have to go around the outside of the panes to do the background layers, I think those will actually go pretty quickly. I say layers because there will be two, one will be a medium to dark brown to look like the window frame and a soft blue to look like the wall and allow me finish the quilt into a rectangle.

I just haven't figured out yet how I'm going to quilt it once it's all together. I originally was going to have the lead lines double as the quilting process but have realized with all the layering and the process I am using for the lead lines it wasn't going to be possible since I need the light box to help line things up. See update #3 for the sneak peek of that process.
