Despite some doubts as to whether I would be able to persevere with the one-inch square project, of course I
have continued to work on it and thought I would share my progress so far. I sewed together 6 of the 8 inch squares ( manageable chunks ) and am delighted with how it looks so far. The piece is very intense and so pretty. I am doubtful now as to whether it will be used as a quilt - it seems far more attractive an idea to have it as one of those ' hang on the wall ' pieces of which I am very fond. I love the colours....everything - however disparate it initially seems - just goes together.
The piece as you see it is currently 24 x 16 inches ( 60 x 40cm ).
Close-up of work. All hand-stitched and what quality thoughts I've had whilst stitching away....
I intend to continue in this vein, sewing together 8 inch pieces of work and then deciding from there what feels right with regards to a final size.
