OKsewglad, that must have been so frustrating. I have picked out enough quilting to weep and mourn with you. You sound ready to forge ahead with that second quilt ready to go already! Whoopie!
I have laid out some UFO's to finish before the end of the year. Looking to finish at least one and perhaps another. Once Christmas week arrives, I should be free to be very focused on getting a quilt off the UFO pile and on the donate pile.
