Seems like there's always something going on that distracts me from the quilt. Lately, it's been the weather; it has been too nice or too warm to sit at the sewing machine.
The cross stitch is nearing completion. Just the other night I closed the loop. All I need to do now is fill in the gaps. That should go quickly with all these reference points. I hope that this is the end of ripping out stitching. I had to pull out one whole flower bud, and later the beginnings of several leaves, because I had counted from a bad reference point or added one too many stitches in a critical spot. Bummer. I lost two whole evenings carefully pulling out the stitches and another two nights restitching them into the right spot.
I have nearly finished the next set of black strips on the blocks. Now comes the frustration of keeping everything square. I cringe at the idea of ripping out and restitching the pieces that aren't quite right. I think I'd rather adjust when adding in the next triangles. We'll see how that goes.
