Gorgeous quilt! Just a thought here. Could you raise your table to a more comfortable height? Maybe with some thick books or something. It might help your knees. I have problems with my back and knees too so I sympathize with you.

Your quilt is beautiful. When you do little work like that cutting and piecing can be a killer for your back. I am 5'10" and my back was hurting me at my cutting table so I found 6" bed risers and put them under my cutting table legs. Haven't hurt since.

I do understand. My DH built me a custom cutting table that is right height for me and on casters. One of the problems with this project is just the shear size. The finished size will be 120" x 104". I don't have a table large enough and didn't want to ask my LQS to tie up their tables long enough to assemble and then sew all of the pieces together. I have it half assembled in the LR floor and hope to finish putting it together this morning and start sewing tomorrow morning. Just hope I don't have any company. If I do, we will have to sit in the sunroom.
