It's been so long I've forgotten

I've been working on this Boston collage quilt so long that I've forgotten about how I made the earlier buildings in the quilt. I look at those buildings and I wonder how did I make some of the decisions that I made at the time? Those buildings look amazing and will only look even better once they are quilted and details are added. How did I pick particular fabrics? All those struggles have faded into the past. A decision that I labored over and over analyzed is now forgotten.

I thought for fun I would post 3 photos of the quilt progress. One from early on, one from the middle, and one current one.

Midway progress

Almost done

There are plenty of other photos with more detailed progress and some day I want to put them in sequence and create a video. I have plenty of photos of where I place a fabric on the quilt that I thought that I was going to use for a building only to end of using something else. Maybe it's good that this project has taken so long. The fabric choices I would have made earlier if I had rushed the process are different than what I ultimately chose. I am a slow worker and that's OK with me.

A lot of the orange windows in the Almost done photo are now cut to size, fused, and placed on the quilt. I still have a bunch to go, but at this point I just do a few at a time. I do see some orange ones that I might change out for a less intense orange. I think I also eliminated some of the orange windows from last week.

Do you often forget all the details that went into a long project? Or do you remember them?

Thanks for reading. Happy Halloween.
