Tldr- my quilt was rejected by the long arm lady and I am hand tying it.
I made a 99x98 top. Bought some 108 backing. Dropped at quilter and apparently it shrank in the wash because she didn't have enough extra on the edge. It's also a charity project - Habit for Humanity- so she said $300 to quilt and that's alot for charity - just tie it.
So ... Here we are. This has not been my favorite project. Probably why it's taking so long to finish.
