Sorry to hear about the job situation, but thankfully you have your quilting to fall back on as therapy! This is the most gorgeous quilt pattern I've seen. You've done a spectacular job so far. I can't wait to see the finished quilt!!!!! I'm a new quilter and just finished my first quilt top. Having doubts about quilting it myself and how to do it. Seeing your work inspires me to finish and start something even more challenging. Beautiful work!
