    Again, thanks, everyone. It is a fresh day and I am rolling right along, with just enough breaks to keep me sane. :)

    That is going to be a beautiful quilt! Just do a little at a time so you don't get burned out. You will be glad when you get it all finished!

    It is going to be beautiful when finished. I so admire you for even attempting this. Not enough patience in the world for me!

    It's going to be gorgeous! Patience doesn't come easily to any of us, but just take your time. I find that when I get in a hurry my work suffers. You want a finished quilt that you can be proud of! When It's all done, quilted & bound, you'll forget all about the time it took to match all those corners!

    Dina, At this point you're starting to feel over whelmed by the enormity of your project. Just focus on what you will day today and try not to constantly look at how much there's still to be done. One block at a time, one row at a time and you will have a gorgeous quilt ready for quilting...

    Wonderful achievement you have going there! Keep up the quilt but give yourself more breaks. As I was reading through the pages, I came to the conclusion that all the Round The World's I had made, were made incorrectly until I came across Jingle's instructions. Sewing strips and cutting is so much easier and quicker and that is why a lot of my charity quilts are made this way. Do take care and try the strip method for your second quilt. Good Luck

    It has almost a Bargello look, and I know you can keep at it. It seems sometimes like they are never ending, but the finished piece is worth all the time and effort. You go Girl, you are almost halfway there
