lynne--i'm not stressing, but i have some other quilt commitments for this month and don't want to get totally overwhelmed! thanks. right now my back is not playing well with others, so to speak, and that is just one more obstacle and it makes me feel like i'm being whiny and making excuses. certainly not what i'm doing. i'd like to get all my august commitments out of the way! i don't think it's usual for so many to have issues about finishing, do you? how many booms have you done? ok, maybe i am stressing... lol. i'll try not to! are you on for the next one?
