Thanks to all for your replies. Part of the problem for me is that I am doing a lot right now that involves my wrist: a project on the computer, doing a lot of yard work and getting the flowerbeds ready for mulch AND quilting. It is probably too much stress on the that area. I think I will put the quilt away for awhile and give my wrist a break. I'll soon be done with the gardens and then I can get back to quilting.
