Thanks for the encouragement and suggestions. It did go smoother on Sunday. I was able to get it completely quilted. I think the water spritz helped because I am in the Texas Panhandle and it is extremely dry. I also used double batting which I will not do again. The quilt is warm and heavy. I should be able to get the binding on before Christmas. So, all is well now!
I'll post a picture when I am done.
