I was pinning one at home once and the back was not right when I got done. My back (spine) was aching by the time I got all the pins out again. I said some words a lady should not say, and had to re-do it. I certainly feel your pain. I have times when I want to work on a particular item too. Right now I am waiting for an order to arrive so I can finish cutting the fabric for a "Hole in the Barn Door" I want to start. I had two yards of each color but the sashing, border, and binding are going to be in the red and there was not enough.
