Thanks everyone. I do miss my mom.
Amelia0607 - I'm not overly stressed about mom's passing. I traveled 250 miles every month to take care of her for 2-3 weeks at a time. That was often stressful. The last few months were very hard for her.
I have been working on this for so long that I want to get it finished especially since I am so close. She did see the progress on it and I think she was pleased that it was, finally, becoming a quilt.
We will be going on a road trip mid-April to take care of our grandson ( such a sacrifice....NOT) for a few days while mom and dad deal with travel for work related commitments, so I may have a bit of time to get more of it done. I can get a lot done in a 5 hour road trip.
