Feathers..thanks and you are so right...some of us are retired or like me...w/sick kids and snowed in this year:)So, it was quilt or eat or quilt or pull my hair out:)And, like I said...some of the UFO's were some I had started and parked! So finishing the tops weren't a major time consumer!LOL I like what someone on here said, 'just stitch for 10-15min a day 'while you are waiting on your coffee, kids, etc....I've been on a hand appliq piece/block for about 2 months..for I think, well, I know I have ripped more then I sewed:)Skeat
