Well, my flight got cancelled, so it's only 9 days now! I'm going to go quilt like mad for a few hours.
I'd like to try the hexes, but I don't have the templates or the paper you use. I haven't ever done them before, but it does sound like a fun thing. My fine motor skills aren't as good as they used to be due to arthritis, but if I just planned to finish the quilt in about 8 years I could probably do it!
