They must be good if you just accomplished the Herculean feat of finishing ten quilts in a row!
Well only five were full size. The rest were lap or crib size and it was only stitch in the ditch. I have a habit of just sewing tops and then realize I have a big stack to finish. I bought a Brother 1500s which has a big motor and a large harp to make the process easier. You would be surprised how much that extra 2 inches makes. Also it has an automatic thread cutter which also helped the process. I just get it all set up and put the pedal to the metal. I can do one full size in a day or two crib size. Now I have a stack of quilts that need binding....Oye!
Would you believe I have six more tops in a box with backs and batting waiting to be basted. I will take a break though and finish the ten before starting them. One is a king size so it will be a big project.
