Tuesday, February 25, 2014. It is time for self assessment to see my progress and what I have achieved so far even it is only the second month of the year.

I did some easy echo-quilting around the curves, just like in the original project on Stitched in Color. I feel like I should have done something more ambitious with the wide open area but if I had to decide what to do, this little quilt would never get done. I mean, seriously, hours. Having no marking on the weekends is heaven! It took.
