Flea Market Fancy Progress II

Just so that you know that I haven't been sitting on my hands this week, here is a little of the progress that I've made on my Flea Market Fancy Kaleidoscope Quilt.


The above image was taken at first count.

 You know when you are beavering along sewing blocks, 
not stopping to check on "how many more?" 
in the hope, that when you do eventually count, 
that you're almost done?  

Well, this only half way there ...

But late last night early this morning I finally met my target of 200 paper pieced triangle units and therefore 100 blocks.  Paper piecing is a wonderfully rhythmic process, but after say 100 the same units it does become a little tedious.  Trust me on this.

I have minimized off-grain side edges of  blocks and therefore all foundation papers have now been removed.  I can't wait to sew the blocks together and finally see the full impact created by the fabrics and the design.
