I learned I dont like working with panels. Trying to get the right pattern and size blocks to put around them is a real challenge. No more make up quilts I am only going to use a quilt pattern for a whole quilt from now on.

I drove a two hour round trip to the city today to a new quilting shop which I have just discovered, to be informed they did not stock hand quilting thread!.... I was amazed! No call for it these days the lady behind the counter said, not enough people hand quilt to warrent stocking it!
Am I in the minority then? Guess I must be!
Yes, I know I could have phoned on ahead ........but I had to check out their fabrics didn't I?
