Maybe

This could be a year-end finish.

Or an early 2014 finish. No pressure. The top's been waiting to be quilted for a year and a half already.

Pin basting sure is hard on the knees and the fingers. 

The "eyes" have had it

After appliqueing the "eyes" of a few blocks, and then finally one of the center bits, I decided I didn't like the "eyes."

I like it better with the center fabric extended into the "eyes" so it looks like the arcs are on top of a single piece of fabric.

So now the design wall looks like this, and I have more to unpick and redo. That should keep me busy into the new year.
