I'm glad you enjoyed my LBB album; LBB is not a utilitarian quilt, so I feel just a bit decadent doing it, but I think it's good for my mental health, if nothing else.

Thanks again, Weezie ... maybe it;s time you allow yourself an LAQ treat too?
For sure, your LBB is not going to be utilitarian. Perhaps you can continue your decadence with it, and allow yourself to use it, knowing it will get full TLC under your care. Just think of the sweeeet dreams you will enjoy under it. Hand quilting?

I think so much of what we do when quilting is totally for our mental health ... at least it is for me!!
That, and to keep me "off the streets"!!! (a long standing joke with a good friend

)
