Just don't overdo your hand. You'll be no good if your body is too stressed and it takes a longer time to recover! Work 'till you feel like you're at the point of too much. Be careful not to say, "I can do one more stitch!" Might push you over the edge.
Besides all that, you can do this! Go for it! If you don't get it done, choose a suggestion from one of your many fans. They have offered great advice. I'd say call in work with a "slick" day. Never really done this myself, but know many people who have.
Please let us know when you finished so we can send up a collective cheer!
You've got the quilt a-groovin'
You've got your hands a-movin'
Next we'll all be a-swoonin'
'Cause your quilt will be done!
You'll be up in the air
To see your daughter so fair
Your gift will catch her unaware
And the work will all feel like fun!
