Day 5: For this purpose, a "unit" refers to a central white hexagon surrounded by six 9-patches and six fill-in triangles. I have four units to go (up the left side), and the Ring Cycles quilt top will be done! Of course, that leaves the backing, batting and quilting to do, but that's a whole 'nother story. There have been a few rare days when fulfilling my quota of stitching has felt like pulling teeth. On others, I've gotten ahead of schedule because I was enjoying the process. Persistence pays in the end, and as my grandmother used to remind me, her lessons were not so much in the needlearts as they were in patience. I have not yet decided whether I will put Ring Cycles or the orange Dresden Plate on the quilting frame first. In either case, the long work is yet to come.
