    Keep moving slowly forward. This will be a beautiful quilt. Set small, daily goals and soon it will be done. Thank you for sharing.

    It is going to be beautiful. Please keep going. You will be happy when it is finished. Whenever I do a quilt like this, I use the strip piecing method. Makes it so much faster & easier. That way you don't have all those little squares to sew together.

    You have a great start. I hope you started with a small quilt. Doing a small quilt give you that quick finish so it all doesn't see so bad

    Yes, I am doing a fairly small quilt....and I did use strip piecing...or I think that is what it is called.

    Thanks for all of the encouragement. I took the afternoon off and will start again on it later this evening.

    Great! You're off to a beautiful start, I'm glad you're feeling rejuvenated.

    This is where I like to start something else, maybe a very simple pattern that I can spend some time quilting, or doing something that ISN'T matching corners! Having a few different challenges around can help keep you from getting bored or overtired.

    Again, it's going to be amazing - good luck!

    Trip Around the World is one of my favorite patterns. I have made 4. When you get tired of working on it just, put it down and work on something else, then go back to it when U feel like it. You'll do good. ;-)
