Well - got good news tonight...the February wedding has been changed to April 30th. So now both weddings are in April. I'm going to fiddle around on my own until then to see what I can learn about FMQ. Also going to concentrate on getting both quilt tops done by March 1st, take the FMQ class at my LQS in March, and hopefully be able to use what I've learned to finish the quilts in April.
Thanks everyone for all of your wonderful suggestions. Got some great ideas, found out I'm not alone in not knowing a thing about FMQ, and enjoyed sharing with everyone in the process. I'll let you know how it goes! :D
