slow progress

I have been working on my reverse applique project, and although it seems to be going very slowly, I am learning a lot along the way. I began by working in the way I've read the Cuna Indians execute the technique using woven cotton, but then had to adapt it to make it more suitable to the knit materials I'm using. I've also decided that it's much easier to sew up a jacket from scratch using fresh material and a pattern than it is to recycle and refashion existing garments...but I'm not after "easier". :-) Working on ways to solve the challenges of this project is teaching me so much, sparking so many ideas for future projects, and is so energizing, I'm having trouble sleeping at night!
