I'm making progress! I think by the end of the weekend I will have the center of this quilt together and I'll be ready to start cutting fabric for the much-more-detailed border.

I know lot of people hate foundation piecing because of the hassle of removing the papers. That part has never bothered me and I generally remove paper as I do the piecing. As soon as a piece is enclosed I remove the paper behind it. It's a huge mess on my sewing room floor but a quick vacuum handles that. I don't worry about the little bits left behind. Once the quilt is washed all of that will just become part of the batting.

The weather was beautiful yesterday so it was nice to open the windows and to take my crochet out to the back porch after my dyeing session was over. I do love this time of the year.

I'm in the 'hate to rip out the paper' camp. But I do love PP and use the fold back technique, so no ripping. So many ways to do things in quilting. Your piece is progressing nicely and will be spectacular I'm sure.

is this a Judy Niemeyer pattern? I've got one that came in a kit and haven't touched it - next year a lot less RSC quilts and time to make this one - it is called "Slice of Paradise" not looking forward to the papers.

I am also in the "hate ripping out the papers" camp. However, I think that quilts made that way (like this one) do look amazing.

You are making great progress on this. I love the way the turquoise stands out against the reddish color.

Oh my word - you mean the border is even MORE detailed? Better you than me! It's proving to be worth every minute though.
