Started the day walking, then weeding in the garden.
Depending on what ratio I'm end up with (LxW)..... you could say I'm over half done.

Weaving - Day - Whatever
About half way? That depends how long I can keep this up. I do have a size in mind.
I did learn a hard lesson.
I am creating this over a layer of fusible web. I was able to slide my pizza peal under the stabilizer and iron to begin the process of making it permanent.
Then I decide to fully fuse from the backside.
As I unpinned and proceeded to flip onto it's face, the edges gave way.
It really hadn't fused anywhere. There was just too much material for the heat to get through.
I was able to salvage the whole thing but it took me several hours to re weave the edges from the backside.
Lesson learned.
(It's still pretty straight too.)

Weaving - Day 4
Another dull morning threatening rain.
So worked across the rest of the board, and finished around 3.
Then I went out and ripped out the 'for get-me-not'. It was almost done and had reached the point where it was smothering the remainder.
Tomorrow I'll start another pass. This was certainly slower than the first day but I think that's because I was piecing colour on almost every row.
That involved planning for an 'under' location to pin and glue the next colour.
The picture has a 'wrong' feel to it, but that's because I photographed it upside down to the move the strips out of the way.

Weaving a Background Updated
I'm about ready to start. I cut up and pressed a number of Fat Quarters and Fat Eights as well as a lot of scraps. This took the equivalent of about 2 days.
If I need more........
Day 2?
This is going to take a long time. As it's hard on my neck and back AND the weather is improving I'll want to get outside with other things and work at this sporadically. This is what one day, about 3 hours produced, about 6 inches sq.
My posting daily probably won't show a lot of change, so..........when this is finished I'll re post on this theme.
