With my wife helping, each of the three of us put in about 40 hours that first week. After my son left Gabriele and I took over and easily put in another 100 hrs each. We called it our midnight madness quilt, but in the end it was worth it. The pattern is called Midnight Sun and was in the Fons and Porter Sep/Oct 2008 magazine. I guess we weren't far off in name! LOL We hope to finish the counterpart quilt in the spring.
