I'm almost finished my stinkin' French braid quilt top (as soon as I figure out how to make the right side the same length as the left, I can put the final borders on and VOILA, she is finished), but, during braid construction, I had to get up and press each little addition to the braid. I chose to consider it exercise and it didn't bother me to do it. Having said that, I'll tell you that I would not want to do that with every quilt. (Too much exercise can kill ya!)
