    You've started some very ambitious quilting... but awesome! Maybe set yourself a goal of one block per week, get it out at the start of the week and get that one block done. Then put it away til the next week. That way you will get it finished. It's going to be amazing so pace yourself and get it done.

    I know just how tedious, not to mention tiring, this rechnique is, but your quilt is awesome & will be so worth the effort !! Keep up the fabulous work.

    Keep working on it while working on another project. Allow yourself 1 hour or set a goal say 2 sections of a block a day. I have been working on a quilt and didn't know why my back and arms ached. Then I realized it was the pulling and tugging of the quilt as I stitched straight lines in the sashing squares. So now I give myself a goal instead of spending 6 hours on tugging and shoving. Your quilt will be stunning when done.

    Keep going!! The quilting is perfect, so in keeping with the quilt. Just a little at a time, in between other projects and you will be done in not time.
