The top is finally pieced. I won't lie. It wasn't enjoyable piecing. This quilt pattern is by no means difficult, complex yes but not difficult but I found the whole experience somehow tedious although the finished top looks fantastic.
I have a nagging feeling that my not so enjoyable quilting time may not be entirely down to the quilt pattern but more down to a massive quilt hangover from sewing frantically between October and December. So I have been gentle with myself and only pieced when I really felt up to it which is why the whole top took more than two weeks (and yes my upstairs studio was not cleaned the entire time...)
And here a glimpse of the quilt back. Although I absolutely love the Hometown collection and I would have easily had enough for another quilt I am determined to use it all on this quilt. So the quilt back will be pieced from Hometown too.

To me two weeks for this quilt top is not slow at all! It looks great so it was definitely worth the effort!
