| 160 Finished Hexagons |
Okay...I know there are those of you out there dying to know whether or not I was able to finish 400 hexagons in a week. [No, no, my head is not that big. I am sure no one is really waiting with bated breath...but still I'll satisfy whatever itsy bit of curiosity you might be harboring anyway...] To follow this whole story please read here.
Full Disclosure? I DID NOT reach 400. I know! I know! Stone me...berate me...better yet...do me the favor of further encouraging me to Keep Going even though I didn't reach this first goal. In truth, the idea is to complete this by Christmas...so I don't think I've blown the Ultimate Goal completely. Helen? You be the judge.
The Why
Additionally, there has been a veritable heatwave here the last few days causing Mr. MRL to

Conclusion
I suppose with all those 2/3rds done chainstitched pieces I am not as far behind as I thought... Doing the math is a good thing! I know I'll be done by next Sunday! What do you think? Should I plug on?

Go for it! I approve of stepping away from a project when your just not feeling it! You'll feel even better when it's done right and you've enjoyed the process.
And I laughed out loud at the hulu/Mr. Voucher shot :)
I was wondering how you were doing but was at a quilt show yesterday so couldn't find out! You've definitely done well - even if you'd had a smooth week it would have been a challenge and one I wasn't expecting you to agree to - I really thought you'd make a counter offer! ;o) I think you definitely stand a chance of finishing all 400 by next Sunday - are you pressing them as you go or are you saving them for a pressing session in front of a good film? I definitely agree that if you're really not in the mood to tackle a particular problem (rather than 'just don't feel like it 'cos I'm avoiding it') then it's wise to switch to something else! I'm sure those 10 blocks have seen the error of their ways and will soon be conforming! You definitely get a sticker on your TB chart this week!!
P.S. Hello Mr MRL *waving*!
