Never ending quilt!
#13
Your quilt is going to be beautiful, If you are getting frustrated at times then you are taking the fun out of it for you. Why don't you just take a little break from it & make a small project then go back to it. If you aren't on a deadline like for a birthday or something then you have all the time in the world. Enjoy it!

You all are such encouragement to keep going! I just completed sewing all the triangle side sections together that were laid out in the first picture. That took a little over an hour just to get 11 blocks worth of them done.
Since I have two the same of every part (9-patch center, corner and side sections), I seperated them into two 24 block batches. I can now put these last 11 on the design wall and make sure everything is where I want it and get the first 24 blocks sewn together.
I have 24 of the side sections left to do (the stacks of strips in the picture) and that's IT for the next 24 blocks.
I posted a pic of the last completed top here http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-41723-1.htm
It's not quilted yet. I started to do it and I'm just not good enough on the longarm yet so I took it off the frame. I need more practice and will do a little quickie one next instead.
