I know exactly how you feel about the waiting. My youngest sister commissioned a quilt -- she's paid for all the fabrics, etc. With that quilt, is a pair of matching pillow shams, and a bed skirt. Several years ago I made a pair of tab top curtains for her bedroom in a cream color, so everything will coordinate. Unfortunately, I've been a little out of commission lately, and the quilt is not yet quilted. I am simply sizzling with impatience at not being able to work on this. It's a king size quilt. I really hope it will be special to her. So, I do know exactly how you feel -- I'm there, too!
