Macybaby, your drive and ambition are astounding! I can't imagine all of that work on a house when you know you will be leaving it. I am sure you can start churning out quilts when you your life and work space settle down. In the mean time, collecting little fabric squares might be a doable activity.
You must have some thing to fill the time between painting, installing and putting up tile! Tee-Hee-Hee. So glad to have you with us.
