I'm perhaps about a quarter done. It is kind of nice to have some kind of simple, long-term project - a project not requiring shaping or counting or really a whole lot of concentration. I don't even need to know where my scissors are while working on it - at the end of each row I can just break the yarn with my hands and leave a long tail to weave in later. (The yarns are all wool or wool-blend; if I were using something like Red Heart, I wouldn't be able to break it with my hands).
I also pulled out the grandmother's flower garden paper-pieced project. I had forgotten that one benefit of this is that it's portable - you are not tied to the sewing machine while you are working on it. (And it is also quiet - if you want to listen to music, you don't have to crank it to "11" in order to hear it, like you have to with a sewing machine). I doubt I'd make all my quilts that way (I know people who do), but it is kind of nice to have the handsewing as an option.
And I re-started quilting on the quilt in the frame, after several weeks' absence.
