Tying is done! Took me roughly eight hours total, two from yesterday and then six from today. Don't think that's too bad of a pace. Actually it's more like seven, I did stop for an hour to get something to eat and just rest my hands and arms.

Decided to try and take care of the seams as well so I could just call the entire quilt finished and I could spend the day tomorrow working on my hexies, but the quilt had other plans, I guess. Took me a while to figure out the tension needed and when I finally got done with that and buzzed my first seam, I had bird's nests under it. Then I remembered that I didn't take the needle out and replace it with the right size and used the wrong thread. Teaches me to try and tackle everything in one day, I should have just stuck to my original plan of tying today, doing seams tomorrow. But, it was a lesson learned, so not complaining about it at all.
