Dear Indycatcarol, How I admire you having the strength to do such intensive work after the loss of your love one. Years ago when my husband died I couldn't concentrate long enough to finish a page in a book. I believe the whole 1st year just dropped into a black hole for me. Lucky for me I still had a 16 yr old daughter home to hold me together.
Keep quilting, oh and listen to that lovely daughter, she has the right idea.
Beautiful quilts, piecing and quilting!
