The answer came late one night when I could not sleep. quilt as you go! I watched probably hundreds of YouTube videos until I had found a method that I could manage, and a result I could be happy with. Now I am experimenting with all kinds of patterns for QAG. Applique, panels, as well as piecing. I think I have found my niche. I know you will find yours.
I relate with you on this Madam, I have had 6 back surgeries so it takes a lot out of me just to piece for an hour or so, then to start thinking about quilting on DSM with all the pushing & pulling threw the harp with the twists & turn to just SID I find I put it off more & more, but I wont let myself start anything new until I finish the current project. I am pushing myself too hard now with trying to make a quilt for all 6 kids.....and all the while thinking about all the DGK quilts next. So it's QAYG for me until I can get the very old Tin Lizzie I bought put together and running & that too has me scared. It's like any excuse to not do something UGH>
