Nebula - from many pieces to 6

It's been about 2 1/2 years since I signed up for and started working on my Nebula. In July I decided to get all the border blocks cut (which took almost an entire day - and a blade) and then I started to sew these together to make the blocks.

I tried to lay it out on the floor of our living room, but there wasn't enough space. I'm wondering if maybe.. maybe it's getting a bit too big...? 

The pattern instructions show that you'll sew the quilt first in six pieces, then sew these together as 2x3, and then joining these two. 

Rolling up my sleves and taking a deep breath, I started working.

1/6 came together pretty fast and easy. This is the top middle part. 

2/6 (upper left corner) required a bit of consulting with the pattern  to make sure the blocks ended up the right way, etc. 

3/6 (upper right corner) and the pattern is consulted frequently. Halfway there.

And then we're starting the bottom half. 4/6 is bottom middle part.

5/6 (bottom right side).

And finally 6/6 (bottom left side). *phew*

These 6 parts are now hanging, ready to be sewn into 2x3 pieces. It is getting pretty HUGE! And I'm thinking of finding someone to quilt it for me.

There hasn't been much else sewing going on for me these past weeks. Just the weekly blocks for the #focuscuttingsewalong on Instagram, and some UFO's that I picked up from my mom this summer. (Strangely, it is more fun to work on someone else's projects rather than my own.)

A small COVID-update: I spent the first week after the positive test basically sleeping. 3-4 naps per day, and full nights sleet as well. Alternating between sleeping in my bed and sleeping on the couch. 

The next week I tried to work from home, to see if that was manageable. It worked pretty good, but trips outside or meeting others was exausting! 

Week 3 I still worked from home, but startet to take longer walks and meeting people, to test my energy levels. The first few days were tough, but it got better and better. 

And now, almost four weeks later, I'm back in the office. I still feel a little more tired than I used to, before COVID, but it's manageable. Still taking things a bit easy, and will continue to do so for a while longer.
