WIP Wednesday - slowly slowly

I've been working on my Aviatrix Medallion over the last week. Having finally settled on my fabric choices I have been slowly, slowly, cutting out all the pieces. There are a lot of pieces. I enjoy cutting (tragic, I know) when I have time and space to work through it all methodically. Elizabeth's instructions are super clear and I was able to work slowly through the list and organise everything into little ziplock bags. 




Last night I laid out my centre star. I've never worked with diamonds before and these ones are pretty tiny (just 1 3/8" ) so it all felt a bit confusing. I've not quite settled on my layout yet so I plan to piece the single coloured points together first then take another look.




I managed to do one quickly this morning while the baby played. I have to admit, I don't think I have it in me to mark dots on 100s of tiny pieces so I eyeballed it. The points aren't perfect, but it looks okay. We will see how it goes on ...




Linking up with Lee from Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday.
