I have been trying to find someone to help me but haven't had much luck. I'm going to keep asking around my area and see if there are any hand quilters that might be able to help me. The quilt is in a hoop my house is too small to keep to be able to put it in a frame. Yes I am getting tired because it takes so much time but I know in the end I know it has a purpose. So are you saying I should keep on with my boarder? I made wavy lines with big flowers/leaves but I might change it to something else.
