Morning Everyone. Hope everyone has a great weekend in front of them.
Elly: Yes I will be quilting the "Monster" but most of my quilts are at least 92 X 92 so I'm kind of used to wrestling with them. Additionally since the medallion lends itself to different quilting in each round, I will have to deal with the whole half width of the quilt in the initial center block only. Wish me luck!
Martina: My quilts usually turn out to be the size I planned except when they look like they need another border. That's what happened to this quilt. It was going to be in the usual size range until I decided it needed a border that would pull the center colors out to the edges. I live in terror that someday I am going to make a quilt that can only be used as a tent. Thank goodness my daughter has a king sized bed.
I really sympathize with the in-law thing. The ones I have trouble with are my sons MIL & FIL. I avoid them whenever I can but sometimes you have to play nice. My tongue is usually bloody after a day spent with them, can't even imagine three days. Take a lot of hikes.
Pegasus: Hate to undermine your resolve but recently acquired a 12 X 6 ruler. Until I got this one my most frequently used ruler was my 24 X 6, trouble is for most jobs your always fighting that extra length. For me, it really filled useful niched.
Rhonda Lee: Sounds like a great show. I've never been at one that you can actually use the long arms. Part of me is afraid that if I tried one I would fall in love and all reason and thriftiness would go out the window. I just keep repeating... I do fine on my home machine, I do fine.........
