I really sympathize with the 'just squish me' moments! It's pretty human to pull those sometimes... I agree with being very sure the fabric is now clear of any 'spot removers' (cough) and just moving on to see what *really* needs to be trimmed or not. Throw it over the batting and look from the front. Of course you've checked for any weak spots, I'm sure. Wishing you the best of luck finishing - it looks like it will be lovely and snuggly when finished! I'm longing to do a plaids quilt this fall as well.
