thought i would give you ladies an update. hate to admit it, but. DON'T DO ALL THE BLOCKS AND TRI'S IN 60 DAYS. i ended up with a heel spur on my 'pedal' foot. but i think i've had it longer than that. cause it has been bothering me for a couple yrs. got a cortazone shot in it, not sewing, have a 4 yr old grandson for 2-3 weeks. LOL i keep looking at it. am thinking about hand quilting it all now--on a homemade frame made out of l"by 3"s. and c-clamps.
