986!!!!

Half a mushroom

I began to ponder while I was working today as to why it felt like I was moving abysmally slow on this project. I think I know why now. Previously I had waved a hand and said "bah, they are only 22 inch pillows. how hard can that be?"

I failed to remind myself that a 22" square pillow comes out to nine hundred and eighty six squares.

986

I find myself relieved to think that never before have I ever considered how many little bits go into a project. Now that I have foolishly looked into the matter I'm quite daunted. I don't think I'll ever do that again with the project in front of me. Maybe once I get beyond Christmas and my sewing endeavors for this year have been completed I may reflect on it. But at the present I will limit myself to the idea that one quarter of a mushroom has taken more time than I believed possible or necessary. Maybe I should have done the red mushroom rather than the green. It would have been a little more energizing.
