This was my 'life's work'

Your beautiful quilt is a great lesson for me in patience. I'm at the early stage of quilting where I look for a pattern that I can finish in 1 or 2 months. Sewing hundreds of hexagons together by hand would overwhelm me, but I love dreaming about doing it! Gives me a feeling of peace - as if I'm in it for the long haul. Thanks for sharing your quilt; it's an inspiration.

One thing I am doing with this next one is I picked out the coulourways for a few rossettes at a time and bagged them up with the cut papers in small food bags - then I could grab one or two for long train journeys Or (when I worked in a commercial setting) business trips with nights in hotels. etc.
Works for me!
