Put yourself on a schedule -- so make it easy by doing it in pieces -- 2 blocks a day - or so many minutes and finish that block and call it a day.

There seems to be a thing about quilting some tops -- have seen it discussed here off and on. Sometimes its best to let the top "age" a bit while you figure out how to quilt it properly. And then, to take that in segments too, so it doesn't become tedious. (Try not to do this with dinner --it doesn't work so well with food!)

This is a wonderful top and will make an outstanding quilt. So don't let it get to you, but you get to it!

Keep going. The result is going to be SO worth it!

That is gorgeous! Wow! My arms and neck would be in pain!! Since you mentioned the width of the presser foot, I assume that you are not doing FMQ. Yikes! Stitch, turn, stitch, turn, etc.?

That is just going to be stunning when you are done. The quilting just makes that block!

I certainly don't envy you, but I think you will be so proud of yourself when you finish it. I don't blame you for cutting the size down. I am cheering you on, can you hear me now?

Thanks ladies! This is exactly what I needed. I just finished the last of the inside blocks. Hoping the ones on the edges will be easier to wrestle!

Wow!! Amazing work! Don't give up...press on...it will be worth it!

Like the others I really want you to keep on. This is going to be a real beauty. Can't wait to see it finished. BrendaK

beautiful quilting, very impressive

Wow that is going to be stunning when you're done! The quilting really enhances your blocks. Can't wait to see it when it's finished.

I know what you mean about the pain even though yours is a much larger quilt. Earlier this year I made a black/white/gray baby quilt that was 4 really big log cabin blocks. I used FMQ and it was impossible to keep the rows even and straight. I kept doing it that way because it needed to be done. But even with the FMQ I had to keep turning it and pushing and pulling it. My shoulders and arms were so sore. And my quilting looked really bad. Yours is beautiful!
