thanks everyone, these are all great suggestions. I do have my sewing machine set up at all times, so that isn't it. I have to cook hotdogs today on a golf course for a golf tournament fund raiser, so today is out, but there is always tomorrow, and hey you never know I might get "sick" one day this next week and have to stay home from work. :lol: I know once I get started again I will be on it. The idea of a few blocks at a time is a good one....thanks again :thumbup:
