Have to agree with you Terriamn I load 1 quilt on the frame and quilt it, take it off and cut off the extra, make sure it's square and that's it for the day. Next day is doing the binding and getting it sewn on and ready for the hand stuff. You have way more energy and stamina than I do, that's for sure.

Gee, Terriamn, that's both wonderful and awful! Great that you did so much but, ouch! Try not to overdo. And I'm happy if I get a single block made or quilted in a day. You put me to shame. Any pix???

This sounds like a sensible approach. Guess you learned the hard way?

Janice I thought I could make the stars in which ever corner I landed in huh, unless I was in the bottom left or right corner the stars were barely recognizable. Hoping to make tear drops on one of my next ones

I think they're terrific! They're all a bit different and it adds to the fun of it. The stars and those colors work great together. It's a winner.
