Why not?? Life is too short not to enjoy and keep a full schedule.

You should take it if you think you might need help with the pattern.

I hear ''OVERWHELMED'' in your post. Your toddler needs a Mom that's not so overloaded more than you need to learn another quilting technique. I've been where you are and we don't get do-over days with our children. God Bless. A Mom of 6.

Give your toddler some special time with a trusted relative or friend. Take the class and use it to unwind and rejuvenate yourself. Time for yourself is soooooo important and you will be a better mom for it. Do NOT feel guilty about renewal therapy! And you will know how to make the quilt and have had a great time with new friends.
Happy Quilting!

I completed 2 King Size LoveKnots for 2010. Eleanor Burns's book is so good and they are easy to piece.

Even though I don't always need to take a class I will for the companionship, to see what others come up with and always learn something new..
DO IT!!

I already work fulltime and have a rambunctious toddler on my days off. Am I biting off more than I can chew. What would you do?

It might be that the only way you will make time for it is to take a class. I found that was true when I was in your situation. As long as I had a commitment I wouldn't back out, but without that, there was always something that took precedence when the time came for me to have a little "me" time.
