Thanks for everyone's kind comments. These have been long term projects and I have enjoyed the process on each one.
Connie in regards to the corner cover up triangles. I did not trim the excess away refusing to create more waste triangles and it just adds extra warmth to the quilt. I didn't encounter any problems stitching or quilting the excess. Oh and I do have a HST quilt in progress made with finished 1" and 1 1/4" dark light triangles. Still working on blocks of those...that might be the next one to finish piecing.
Meanwhile I have a charm quilt made of 3" 9P's pinned to the LA waiting for some quilting!
