I can't add any new suggestions to what has already been posted but just wanted to say congratulations on finishing the quilt and what a real bother to have this problem to contend with. I'm sure you'll end up just fine and I look forward to seeing pictures of the completed quilt! I'm like you, it takes me an age to get a quilt done, I feel quite like a tortoise when I read how much others seem to accomplish on this forum!
