In work this week: Plus and How Many

I was able to make some progress on my Collection Challenge Plus quilt over the weekend. I continued rearranging the colors until I was satisfied. I removed the teal & white print that read as aqua because that pastel aqua just didn't look right with the rest of these colors. Here's the final layout with the patches sewn into rows. This week I hope to get the rows sewn together into a finished flimsy.

Also scheduled for this week - It's my turn to hand out at Piecing Group. You might remember I've mentioned a very long-term hand-piecing project that I'm calling How Many, and I showed it on the wall last month.

This go-round, I'm having everyone add a few black triangles to each end of a row to create the side borders, plus string together a few black triangles that will become the top and bottom border rows.

Partial instructions in kit

Here are the kits, ready to hand out, plus my baggie with my example to show them.

This is the sixth go-round for this project with Piecing Group. One more, in 18 months, when I'll have them join rows into pairs. Then I'll finish it myself. This is definitely a WIVSP - work in very slo-o-o-w progress.
