Good for you! I think that if you give it a rest and do something else every so often, you will eventually get this one done and it will be a winner, it will be stunning.

also give your self a little reward for finishing sections - like chocolate or download a movie etc. I think it will be a beautiful quilt and you will be glad you stuck with it.

Your white background will lend itself to amazing quilting stitches in blue or green. You are doing an amazing job. You can do it!

You all have me thinking. I had planned to quilt it with white for a tone- on-tone effect, but now I will consider colored thread and being creative in the "negative space". Thanks for all the wonderful encouragement.

That quilt is absolutely gorgeous. You have been dealing with it, dealing with emotions over it so you can't see its true beauty. It's AMAZING! I sure hope you finish it up.

I think it's beautiful as well. It looks like you are more than half way done. As others have said, work on it just a little at a time with more fun projects in between. It will be done in no time!
