I put quilts in Time Out when they don't behave. Have one there now that's been in Time Out since about March. Need to have it finished in November so about time to pull it out. Seems every time I allow a quilt top out of Time Out it behaves so much better.
Be comforted in the idea that we have all been where you are. Your top is coming together wonderfully - I'm impressed at your stick-to-it-ness!
