Somebody posted earlier about neck pain and quilting. Here is my scrappy log cabin that sent me to the doctor and caused 2 weeks of constant pain. This quilt isn't huge, but it does have 2 layers of cotton batting inside. Wrestling it around caused the injury! It's warm though! I'm finally able to do some more quilting today.

Sorry it caused you so much pain. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Very pretty.

Very pretty!

Looks like it is worth the pain

Beautiful quilt... sorry about the pain...

cool color combo! and I know that feeling ;-(

Beautiful!

Glad you are able to be back to quilting. The quilt is sure pretty!!

Sorry you were hurting. I love the wider log cabin strips. Quilt is gorgeous. :thumbup:

I'm glad you are feeling better.

Very nice :-P

Worth the pain,Tortoisethreads! It is lovely.

same thing happened to me.. but the end result sure is worth the set back.. just be careful in the future.. it can happen again and again....
i love your quilt !

Sorry for the injury, but is absolutely beautiful!!!

I'm sorry it left you in pain. It is a wonderful combination of colors.

It happens to me all the time, which is why I question myself why I keep making quilts that make me hurt. But the end result is always worth it. Yours is truly lovely, love all the colors

love it great quilt

Gorgeous quilt. Yes, I get back pain from either bending over the Lizzie frame or sitting at the sewing machine too long too. Hope you have recovered.

Gorgeous quilt!! Oh, the things we endure for the love of our craft!!! :wink: Hope you're feeling much better now.

That is just beautiful. Hard to believe something that pretty could cause so much pain. :lol: I'm just glad you are feeling better now.

Beautiful and isn't it all about blood sweat and tears for our quilts!!!

Very pretty quilt, so sorry you hurt.

Been there, done that! But I know how it is--you just want to get it DONE, and figure you'll sort your body out later! If it's any comfort, I think it was worth your effort--your quilt is beautiful! Glad you're feeling better now--but take it easy! The quilt will wait if you're hurting!

Nice job--it's very pretty!!

It's a beautiful quilt! Sorry it was a pain in the neck, literally!

beautiful quilt!....I never knew quilting was such sport until I started...its only for best of the thrill seekers.

that is beautiful, sorry you got hurt though.

Wow that is a beautiful (and substantial) quilt.

Sorry I hear about the pain. I hope you are on the mend, and feeling much better.

Just wondering why you chose to use 2 layers of batting? Did you do it for warmth, or loft, or something else?

I love the colors. You did a beautiful job quilting it even though it caused you pain, you should be very proud.

Sorry your quilt sent you to the Dr, but it did turn out beautiful.

Its beautiful!

That is one awesome quilt. I'm sorry it put you in pain
Quilting is suppose to be fun and relaxing :oops:

I am so sorry that a quilt this beautiful has caused you so much pain. You will surely grow to love it again when it is completed. It is a beautiful quilt!!!!

Very nice. Glad you're feeling better.

Sorry for your injury. I did the same thing on a very small square I was top quilting and ended up in great pain, that did not go away. I spent two and a half months three times a week in Physical Therapy. My neck is 75% corrected. You can bet that I do my exercises every day to build my shoulder muscles, stretch my neck carefully, and stop sewing if I feel any electric sting across my shoulders....also I work constantly on correcting my posture.I do not want neck surgery. Also when I hand knit/read I have to hold the needles away from my body so that I do not look down all the time. I do admire your quilt! Take care of your body so you can keep on creating!

I tried it for the warmth. I love cotton batting, but it never seems warm enough. I made a small difference. I won't do it again.

Quilt is beautiful, and I really like the bright border

Its awfully pretty though! Glad you are getting back to normal now. (And they would say that quilting isn't hard work...huh!)

Sorry about the pain, glad your better. The quilt is beautiful.
