Why so long?

Finished! This table runner that evolved out of mostly hand-dyed scraps of fabric from my stash is finally finished. I'm not sure why each phase took 4-5 months, but it is fun to see it all together. The binding makes it feel finished. Not sure I would attempt the same thing any time soon, even though I have many more scraps. Time to eat the bananas, though. (Hopefully they will help legs dragging from mountain biking.)
