Your fabrics and colors are wonderful. Sorry that this has been stressful for you. Relax and enjoy your bliss.
If you are concerned about cutting yourself, you might consider getting those gloves that they wear on the Fons & Potter tv show, to protect their hands.
Can't wait to see your finished quilt!

When you just line them up you will get mismatched ends...and it creates excess for your LAQ. Common mistake..no worries... at this point just even up your ends by cutting them to the shortest length. You may have to have help with this. HMMMM.

I still have to attach the top and bottom sashings to this mess
of unmatched strips. I'm so trying to do the top all by self.

Keep climbing that mountain. My prayers or with you. The quilt is gorgeous. You have done a beautiful job. My daughter is climbing her dreadful mountain after being diagnosed with Reflex Symathic Dystrophy. RSD. She was an R.N. but somedays can barely get out of bed. Take care.
