Thank You for your kind words I surly needed them. You said it all. But sigh...... I am hinting,almost begging and I will do that to :twisted: to get a bigger machine,maybe a midrange. OH well I can wish and dream. :roll:

Will have to consider QAYG.

You have a gift beyond quilting if the "saga of the growing quilt" is any indicator.
Congratulations!

Hang in there! Those little gremlins will forget to show up some night and you'll be able to finish this!

The growing monster visits my house often. I always vow my next quilt will be a twin and somehow always end up with a queen or king. My kids love them. Enough quilt to wrap up in, but they are a pain to quilt.
