Thanks so much for your encouragement. I was just about ready to give up on this particular quilt, since it is huge and it's gonna take me forever to stitch around all the triangles.
mpeters1200...thanks for that suggestion. I've been trying to figure out how I could still hand quilt without doing every single triangle. I couldn't figure out anything I thought would look right. This might work!
Another question would be this...I used the Warm and Natural cotton batting from Joanns. I've never used a cotton batting before but thought that you had to make your quilting stitches closer to each other. If I only quilt around the (pinwheel) block, will it still be ok with that type batting?
If I could just get that part done, maybe I'd have the incentive then to go back and quilt a bit more in it, but right now the job just seems overwhelming!
