Plodding Along

Sometimes in life you have a string of days in which it seems that not much is being accomplished--where you're just plodding along. This week has been one of those times for me.

I've worked on my string piecing a bit.

Knitted a bit.

And worked on my octagon English paper piecing project a bit.

But nothing is really getting finished, or even moving along in a major way.  Just plodding.  Do a little bit here, a little bit there.  I'm trying to remind myself that this is, indeed, how large projects get finished--a little here, a little there, and then one day you're done.

Octagons

I've been working on my English paper piecing (EPP) project the last couple of days.  My EPP project is octagons, not the more common hexagons, just cause I have to be different like that.

Work proceeds at a very slow pace on this project, since it is all done by hand.  Yet there's something very satisfying about it, as well.

I'm not sure what the finished size of this quilt will be.  For now, it's enough to simply stitch a bit by hand every now and then.
