Trust the Process

I'm on a roll with the Midnight Garden quilt.  I dithered briefly about the edge blocks before plunging ahead with my original orientation.  I've panicked a few times thinking I sewed the corner to the wrong spot or cut the block the wrong way.  


 I keep telling myself:  Trust the process.   


That seems to be working!  I've only had to rip out and reset two wonky corners of my completed blocks so far; they seem to be assembling cleanly.  

The main design wall is looking good!  Last night I stitched the first two rows together:  mostly pointy, mostly flat.  Excellent.  I may go back to fix two squares that are a little off.  

The secondary design wall is looking empty.  Yay!  I'm slightly more than halfway through them.  Love that blank space.

After my first few blocks I graduated to working two blocks at a time... but can you see that one of these corners is not like the others?  Drat. I tracked down a trio of blocks - two that had wrong corners and one that was missing its corner.  Given their position on the quilt I must have worked both blocks at the same time.  I guess I need to trust but verify...

I have been tracking my time on this project - I estimate another eight hours of sewing on corners and probably an hour or two to sew up the rows (and of course an hour to admire/scrutinize my work).  Is it possible I could have a flimsy in a week??
