The first half of the body is done and I'm working on the second half. I only have 19 triangle blocks, 10 center blocks, and 10 all dark 4-patch blocks left to do!!
And then all the 4-patch blocks around the outside. *sigh*
I'm glad I didn't actually sew the two rows together yet, the strip between them is sewn to one side, because I found out that I needed to cut out 9 more dark pieces for the triangle blocks and I had to use a fabric that I hadn't used anywhere else. Since I don't want that fabric only in half of the quilt, I can put one of the second-half row of blocks next to the first one to spread it out.
I have some of the 2 1/2" strips sewn together for the 4-patch blocks and need to trim the HSTs for the center blocks. Almost there!
This was last night before the flying geese were done, all the pieces ready to go.
