Slow progress on My Way

I guess I'm starting to enter another tired period of my pregnancy. That was most of my problem last Sunday when I didn't make it to the last day of the My Way class. Thank you to all of you who expressed your concern.

All I've managed to stitch since then is about a quarter of Block E. I wanted to get the center, one corner, and one side in so I could see all of the colors in before I moved back to do the same on the blocks I've already started.

What made this block take as long as it did was all of the small stitches used in the corner. It doesn't matter how small the area is, if the stitches are small, too, they take longer! I also debated quite a bit about exactly what threads to use.

I hope to actually stitch for a bit tonight, unlike last night when I fell asleep on the couch at 9PM!

    I love the look of this and look forward to seeing more. You make sure you get your rest though - you need to save a bit up for later!reopid

    Gosh, this is a beautiful piece. Some very exciting and unusual stitch combinations. I'm enjoying following along.
