Wow, this quilt has been a lot of work already, but it will be so special when it is finished. Blue and purple are my favorite colors and blue and purple batiks will be beautiful in a Storm at Sea. I can't wait to see pictures...even pictures of your progress will be fun to see....hint, hint.
(I have lived in Texas 15 years, just long enough to pick up the expression, "Bless your heart." It sort of fits with all of the re-doing you have done already on this quilt.
So, bless your heart and hang in there. This will all be worth it.
