Your quilt is stunning and I hope you will continue to work on it. Often I read quilters say they quilt to keep themselves sane. I have found that true for myself. It is great mental therapy. This past several years have been stressful for many. I am retired and this is now my passion. After 35 years of teaching where one is always planning lessons or correcting papers at night, this has filled that void. I dreamed of more travel in retirement, but that has not happened. I have a sister who is too young to retire, her job is no longer fun and she too is stressed by the constant layoffs. I guess finding joy in what you have is what helps in this time of hardship. I look at your quilt and see such beauty and craftsmanship. Hanging is in a place you see everyday and know that others find beauty in your accomplishment hopefully will help you through this malaise. Best wishes.
