Before I say anything, let me say congratulations to you and let me tell you why I say this.
When you reach certain level in your professoin. you grow into a position that your boss expects you more from you than before. You are supposed to answer questions, not ask them; you are supposed to take care of project on your own with minimum supervision; not transfer responsibilities back to your boss; you are supposed to make a good judgement call, not screw up so that client complains directly to your boss.
From what you described here, I believe you already reach this level which marks the end of junior position and the beginning of senior position. Higher postion requires higher attitude and higher risk. Have you stepped up to take more risk and make some decision about your project without asking your boss every step? The only time you should ask or tell your boss is the following: to make a critical decision for whole project, or whole team or even bigger; to report progress which is often like everything goes well, you just manage to find some solution to some tough challenge; to report some unfortunate big mistake that impacts the project negatively which you regret but unavoidable in a way; and the most importantly the comliment from your client. It looks like there is a gap somewhere.
So before you do anything, ask yourself: are you asking your boss every step or you make the right judgement call instead of bothering him? Be honest to yourself.
