Speaking from experience when you go through something like Ashlea has EVERYTHING is cause for concern for a while. The fact that Ashlea is working again and has seen that she can still do it has to be a tremendous boost to her.
I'm almost 1/2 way done with hand sewing the binding (I'm slow). I'll take plenty of pictures when I'm done but I'm not posting them until Ashlea receives the quilt. There has to be some surprises. Right now I plan to ship it out on Saturday.

It's done! I'll take pictures tomorrow and it will leave for Florida on Monday. I'll post pictures after Ashlea receives it.
Thank you everyone for your support and contributions on this project! It's been a lot of fun and it couldn't have happened without the generosity of the members here.

And thank you, Rodney, for all of the work you have put into this gift for Ashlea. Many small parts make a wondrous whole but only when there is someone to gather the parts and make that whole as you have.

Roger,
You have completed a very large and very wonderful task. If I were a gambler, I'd bet that several times you've wished you had not started this -- I think we all do at some point in a project such as this one. I feel very privileged to have participated in this project. Each and every member of the QB has to be proud of the kindness and caring manifested in this quilt! Thank you, Rodney, for all the work and enthusiasm you have invested. I don't think I could have done it, because, after all, I am a "rank amateur"! There's a "funny" about that expression -- My husband (who passed away 10 years ago), my son and I were and are "ham" radio operators. The license granted by the FCC is known as an "amateur" operator's license. and my "rank" is classified as a technician! LOL
Thank you again, Roger and Olivia, and all those QB Members who supported this project.
Miriam, I know you will enjoy this quilt, and I am so very happy for Ashlea's recovery. She has really shown a great will to meet the challenge. You and your family, Ashlea, Caleb (and Savannah) are in our thoughts and prayers and best wishes for continued good health and happiness!
