Here's the results of hours of sewing--four rows together--that measures 3" in width. :roll:

Pretty good lookin' Karla. I will keep watching your progress! Some things are more slow than others.
Sorry you have a challenging class this year. I bet they will be less challenging when you are feeling better! And when the weather is better. When Spring came, and we could be outside more, the kids got better behaved! Come to think of it, maybe they were just tired from playing outside. (I have been retired for quite a while-kids don't play outside any more.)

Hi Karla,
Wow, it is looking great. There are so many of us "patiently waiting" to see it all sew together.
Hey - I just remembered something that made mine easier. I pressed the seams open on all the smaller width rows.
Keep up the good work.

Oh yessss.... This is looking so good.
I really love the way the batik patterns are creating movement. Not distracting from the flow at all but contributing their own dimension. I was so waiting for you to post these pics, I have a stack of blue and green fabrics pulled (also mostly batiks) and was hoping it looks good.... this is even better than I thought. Cool.
And thank you for sharing your process, so inspiring.

Doc gave me three new meds today to try to clear this thing from Nov up... and nausea is a side effect of all three...so I've been fighting that rather than sewing. But... I did just go in and get more rows done...so #5-9 are waiting to be sewed together... Once I'm on a roll, the rows go together fast... I just need more rolls. :lol:
Now it's time for chores...
I'll post another pic when there's more to see!! I have this Monday off, that will help!
