And I must be out of the loop, what is going "Jason Voorhees?"

Well, usually for me the process of getting to a solution kills of many, many brain cells and much of my sanity. I remember the last quilt I did and everything went smoothly until I got to sandwiching togeter. Nothing worked no matter what I did and eventually I lost it and threw it in the trash, screaming on the way there. I did figure out a solution, but not before going completely crazy. I got my templates cut out and I'm hoping things will go smoothly.

Must not be a slasher film fan. Jason Voorhees is the serial killer from the "Friday the 13th" movies (big guy, wears a hockey mask, usually has a machete). "Going Jason Voorhees" is a term I coined while I was in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (long story). Basically, my way of saying I'm about ready to kill someone (not literally though) when I'm frustrated.
