Thanks. I've made notes along the way and taken many progress pics, too. I will be documenting the story for an upcoming quilt show next month in our town called "Every Quilt Has a Story". Any yes, hubby is certainly getting his share of the credit, starting with his name on the label. Half the town and friends and family coast to coast know this story quite well, in fact. I've told it at quilt classes, to quilters I meet along the way, etc. It'll probably go down in folklore! :D
Trust me, there are many more details about this story that I didn't print here, lol. :roll: :lol: Let's just say that hubby and I have experienced the gamut of emotions over this quilt in the last four years; both of us at times acting like children, but in the end, we've worked through all the issues and emerged with a much stronger marriage as a result. Hey, maybe I should write a book on how to work together on a quilting project without totally loosing your mind, going bald, hurting each other or filing for divorce! :shock: :roll: :lol: What do you suppose the title for this book ought to be? :lol:
