OK, so I did a little of both - some stitching and some extra piecing. 

Seeing as how my ankle is now officially killing me, I am leaving the standing and searching for another time.  Fifty percent of i3 is found and in place, and the seaming has begun on i2.  Hooray for compromise.

For the time being, I have some laundry 'brewing' and a couple of back episodes lined up on Netflix, so I will see you on the flip side.  It's time to put my foot up and catch up on a little crazy quilting.
