Cute quilt and great quilting! Are you using Machinger gloves for FMQ? Machinger really help my ability to smoothly move my sandwich without using too much pressure on the fabric. A death grip on your sandwich will cause pain in the shoulders and neck.

Yes, I do use Machinger gloves, couldn't do it without them, but I just think it is the constant looking down over days on end that sent my neck into turmoil. This was the sixth panel and most were very detailed. Happened to go to the orthopedic doctor for my knees this past week and he said alternate hot and cold packs, and either have my DH massage with his thumbs at the base of the skull, or use a tennis ball against a chair.

You are a very busy lady, I don't know how you cope with all of it. The panel quilt is just adorable, your quilting is so perfect and it enhance the quilt. The child who will get this is very lucky indeed.
