That's the 'easy' bit done...
Now just the small matter of getting all those shapes onto fabric, cut and then stitched. Give me 10 minutes. No bother.

All pieces numbered, ready for tracing onto bonding paper, ironing onto fabric, then cutting, cutting and more cutting. All 853 pieces...
Just under 850 shapes traced onto bonding paper, ready to be ironed onto fabric and cut. This may take some time...
Normally I bond all the pieces of fabric in place, then stitch it all. This time, my bonding paper isn't playing ball so I'm stitching as I go. Can you imagine if 850 pieces all fell off before I'd stitched them down?!
So here's 31 pieces stitched, only 819 to go. Doddle.

This is the back of just SOME of the windows waiting to be attached. 108 of those little bundles. Yikes. Keeping my fingers crossed for no sudden gusts of air...
All these little shapes have to be drawn, traced onto backing paper which is ironed onto the fabric, cut, ironed down and stuck in place, then stitched. Which may explain why I'm STILL working on this
Just a few more stitches to go!
OK, so I know I said I was going to wait to show you this but I'm too impatient... I hope you like it!
