I had missed this thread so I went to the beginning and read it through, great work Heather, I recently discovered Sharyn Craig and her on point patterns and ruler I have asked my LQS to order for me I have round robin blocks that need to be put together but straight sets seemed so boring, Sharyn's designs are amazing. She has videos on Youtube the one called Building Blocks is one hour but it is worth every minute. I got up at six am and watched it with coffee. Enjoy your time in the US Heather. Joan

thanks for the vote of confidence : )

I can for sure do the stitch in the ditch work (egads, on all those seams??? oye. yes, I know....I know....) but not sure if that is all it will want and not sure I can do the other stuff. Will see.

Since reading about Rosemary going so slow as to hand crank the wheel, I think I've given myself permission to do so as needed, which will certainly help! I have a month in the US to debate it, and then a nice long time to get it quilted as there is no deadline. So, we'll see.

You guys almost make me believe I can pull it off!

Heather, you can quilt this yourself! Anyone who can piece like this can certainly quilt it! I agree with Rosemary, do all of the basic stitch-in-the-ditch which will stabilize it nicely and then you can think about fancy stitching while you're at it.

Ann Peterson has a great Craftsy class called:

I think your quilt is awesome!

thanks, guys!! I am so so so proud of this piece, and yes, will definitely come back once it is quilted and show photos. I am, -gulp!-, thinking of quilting it myself, which terrifies me.....wish me luck.

Norma, thank you for that!!! I still very much feel like a beginner, but definitely now a confident beginner vs. not. But then, I think it is like learning a new language --- other people consider me fluent in Portuguese, where I do not; all I see is what I still need to learn. Perhaps sewing/quilting is the same way -- the more you learn, the more you realize you have yet to learn. :happy sigh: I'm very grateful for the kind words, all of you.
