    Oh! Keep up the good work. It is going to be beautiful and well worth your time and effort. Remember, you eat the elephant one bite at a time and you don't have to eat the whole thing in one day.

    Absolutely beautiful. Your pulling and tugging will certainly be worth the end results.

    Don't give up! It looks like you have only 2 more blocks in the center that are the most difficult to quilt. Then the rest are on the edges. Make sure you have good support (lots of table area) for the quilt to the left and behind your machine. That should help out with taxing your arms.

    I love your quilting and know what it takes physically to do that but it really will be worth it. Hang in there and just pace your self.

    Who says you have to finish by a certain time? There's no reason why you can't set it aside and take a break. I'm all for enjoying what you do. I think the finished quilt will be fantastic and hope you finish it so we can see it, but it isn't a horse race! Maybe just doing a block or two when you are in the mood rather than working so hard on it that it tires you out would be better.
