I was so thrilled to finish my Snake River Log Cabin which was a challenge for my pea brain and tremors. So what do I do? I start a Victorian Cabin which is not too tremor friendly. I sometimes zig when I should zag. Oh well, I am thankful I have two hands to shake. My husband thinks I am losing my mind when he hears me talking to my hands to get them to settle down and cooperate. Just gotta know I LOVE to quilt. Anyone know of a pattern with 36 inch squares? Lol. Maybe that will be doable.

Keep quilting, most of your zags won't show to other people. Enjoy. BTW I LOVE your avatar, the border is spectactular. Is this a pattern? or did you design it yourself? Have you posted a full picture of it? If not, I would love to see it.

In case anyone else is interested in the Snake River quilt, you need to go to www.judymartin.com and see the correction she posted. It applies to the first printing. I love everything Judy does and once in awhile mistakes happen. Ive never encountered a problem with any of her patterns.

Ditto. Looks like a masterpiece! Would love to see a big picture or two or three of it.

Thank you Polly,
Yes, I have posted a picture. And no I did not design the border. I am not good at designing anything. I just have to follow a pattern. I have EQ6 but can not use it. You would think after working with computers for years I could figure it out.

If you zig at the same place on every block it becomes a design decision.

You could do larger blocks maybe that would help. :) I can't imagine. I love to quilt too but just don't get the time most days.
