How's That Chair Coming?

I started making a cover for my sewing room chair a couple of weeks ago.  Two things to blame for the slow progress: one week spent on a wallpaper removal / painting project, and too many little blocks to square up. 

I thought there were only thirty six of the 3" blocks, but I forgot that I was doing the same large block for both sides of the chair back.  So that meant 72 little blocks.  Evidently my bad math was a psychological protective mechanism.  You should see the groove in my used-to-be-nice rotating cutting mat.  That's what happens when you cut and cut and cut in the same spot.

This is what the large block looks like all sewn together.  The thing I don't understand is how I could be so careful in the whole process and still wind up with a rebellious orange chevron.  On both blocks, only the orange one is misaligned.  Weird.  Oh well.

Here are the chair parts.  The seat (poppies) is already quilted.  Now I'm at the stage of deciding which fabrics to use for borders and binding.  Hopefully that won't take me two more weeks.

And I just remembered - I need to pick a fabric for the "wrong" side of the chair back.  I'll go to the second-tier section of my stash for that.
