Choosing Responsible Stitching

So….what did I choose to stitch next? I was responsible and I picked a WIP from the priority stack…Cheerful Bouquet from Jeannette Douglas.

I made great progress! I decided to skip the sawtooth border at first and dive into the yellow flowers. I thought they would kind of be a pain since they are lumpy and every other one is a different color. It turns out (and I should have known this… Jeannette really is a great designer) they stitch up quickly since they are all identical. I got the whole bottom border done in an afternoon. 5 flowers.

I kept going and worked a bit on the sawtooth border which I had started before.

So the sides are each 5 more flowers on top of the corner flowers that are already stitched, and in theory I should be able to finish this up in October. That will be my goal. Except I do want to work on other things too, but even still I ought to be able to do it.
