Hi Cathy...I'm one of the newer members, so haven't "met" you yet...
I'm sorry that you've not been well! I do understand the deadline thing...I managed to start in October and make six lap quilts (I call them cuddle quilts) for five of my grands and my MIL...didn't get to spend as much time here.
Hope you find that you have more time for us than you thought you would! :)
