I started weaving this tapestry piece back in late August and I just finished weaving my last triangle section today.Hard to believe that there is actually 13+ yards all rolled up! You can see the cardboard darts I put into each section...there are close to 200 of them. Quite a bit of weaving there.
I think this took more time to weave than anything I've done before. I timed how long it took to do one section - 12 minutes is my best time...196 sections...2,352 minutes...that means 39+ hours for the entire piece...of course I usually only wove 2 sections per day. But today I did 14.My next stage of this project is to remove the cardboard triangles and pull the warp into what should be a wonderfully colorful spiral. I just have to figure out how to psych up to do all that pulling!

1300+ yards? I don't care of it's narrow---that is a heck of a lot of tapestry weaving. I don't know how you stuck it out! I do look forward to seeing the final spiral.
