Hi, I have kept up with the reading of this thread, but I now have to admit I have just too much on my plate right now to even try to be done by July 4 (I haven't even started) I have several baby quilts that have to be done, and several other things more important. So please count me out for now. Mine will most likely be ready for July 4, 2013. Thanks for the good reads. I will keep up with reading your thread. MargieLou
