Technicolor Galaxy progress

I am back from our family's holiday trip, so I should also be back at the blog, right? Since it has been a while, I thought I could show my progress on the Technicolor Galaxy BOM.

I had stopped working on this, since Alyssa from Pile O'Fabric has been sick and I'm not in any rush. I know some people are finishing theirs up, but I'm still waiting. I had never done Quilt-as-you-go (QAYG), so I don't want to mess it up.

I did get back to quilting the outer circle pieces that were neglected these last months. I feel that since this a QAYG and I have small, manageble size pieces, I want to practice my FMQ on them. I am quilting lines, pebbles, swirls, and feathers. I am not doing quilt sandwich samples - I know, risky! - but yet, going straight to the pieces. This quilt won't be perfect, but I want it to be my learning quilt, so I am okay with it.
