Senility Coming on?

Here it is coming even further along - and it should have been ready to finish piecing today.  Alas and alack, it is not.   On Thursday, we had one of our monthly three all day sewing get togethers and I took along the makings of two hexagon flowers that I needed to finish the fifth row which I decided to add.  I finished them - took probably three hours.  Naturally, there was lots of chatting and laughing going on but that makes that sort of sewing easier to do.  Yesterday, when I went to find my little posies - I found that they have disappeared into thin air.  I am sure I brought them home in the little plastic project box that held all of my fabric, thread,etc.  I have looked high and low and they are no where.  I do imagine I will find them - probably after I have sewn two more.  One was a bright blue and the other a bright yellow so they certainly would stand out.  Don't you just hate it when things like that happen?  However, I am loving how this top is turning out and loving the fact that it is very easy to do.  Except for the time it takes to make the flowers, it was a snap.  And what is so cool, the flowers could be just plain appliqued flowers with a circle center - or a tulip - or whatever flower you wanted and you would not have to mess with the hexagons.  There will be a narrow green strip along both the top and bottom and a plain light strip also.  Then I will bind it in the green.   (Click to enlarge)
