Your quilt is beautiful and it will be worth the wait. What is the pattern name? My daughter and son-in-law's 2nd anniversary is coming up on the 4th of July and I hope to get their quilt finished and I am machine quilting it. Thank goodness I have two sets of zippers that I can zip it on and off when I have other things that need quilted. I still do hand quilting, but usually not big quilts any more.
