Ah shucks! :oops: Thank you all!. The support from this board is fabulous. It really keeps me going. In making the lap quilt, it really helped that I had a book to give me directions and helpful hints. What helped the most was pinning every intersection and slowly/carefully sewing over the pins to things didn't slide. Tedious, but I"m happy with the results. I'll post a pic when I get it quilted.
