Progress....?

Progress Report on the Orange Peels blocks....this has been the project that I take to Heritage Quilt Guild...we talk and stitch...talk and stitch...more often than naught, it's been more talk than stitch but slowly...here a peel, there a peel, she getting done..
 Slowly the 'done' pile has grown slightly taller than the unfinished pile (the stack to the left)....

Someday this one WILL get done!  I may be 101 but it WILL get done! :o)

Have a Magical Monday (make them disappear!!) and Happy Stitching!~P

    Wow! I just love your orange peels. There's a lot of work with this pattern but I sure love the look of orange peel quilts. I've got an orange peel Minick and Simpson kit sitting in my closet. I love looking at the fabrics. ;)) Maybe someday I'll stop looking and get motivated - your blocks are very inspirational!!

    Great vintage feel to this one. Don't we all need several "forever" projects? : )

    And what's the hurry anyway!? Savor the slow stitching. It's always nice to have a portable project that you can grab 'n go!

    That is one of the prettiest orange peel quilt I've seen. I think the varied backgrounds really make it.

    Fun to have a take along project to visit with friends or waiting for an appointment. By the time I dug mine out the other day I was called in and hadn't even had time to thread the needle. Another woman was fascinated with the idea.

    No hurry. I bought some charm packets a while back to do the same thing, but mine are still wrapped up. So you're making great progress.

    Orange peels are my favorite shape, and yours are so gorgeous in the red. What a fabulous long term project to have on the go.

    That is a great project to work on and it will make a beautiful quilt. I need to make up projects so I have things to do when I go camping this summer. Lots of christmas pieces I want to make.

    What a great take along project, really like the colours. Was it a kit or did your great colour sense come through in glowing style?
