any way you slice it: progress

Well, I ended up staying inside most of the weekend...partly because of rain and partly because we were without power all day today.

All of the blocks were assembled...

...and pressed

leftover scraps

quilt top laid out

and then assembled and basted

I'm planning on quilting the top with white thread and a stipple stitch instead of tying it with yarn. It should hold up better with the extra quilting and I might as well make it look just a little crazier with the contrasting white...it can't get any worse, right?

It feels good to get another project almost out of the way and to take a break from the neverending yardwork!
