Thank-you all for the complements! They feed my desire to keep on track. Yes the college quilt is a d9p a technique I learned in guild. And the best scissors I have found to snip ragged quilts is a pair of EMT rescue scissors. They're built to cut through seat belts so they handle bulk and the blades are angled just below the pin so there isn't so much stress on your wrist. I too am sooooo amazed at all the beauty I am seeing unfold. I am a firm believer that quilters are so passionate about creating beauty that we just can't confine ourselves to one or two creations at a time ( of course it could be our ADHD sides sneaking out too.) Lol keep up the good work everyone.
