I paint myself into that sort of corner sometimes too. A while back I had
put together a fishy quilt top and decided Os or bubbles would be just
perfect for the quilting. True but oh my golly what a long, long time it
took to go O O O. Leslie, I feel your pain. Polly


"Leslie & The Furbabies in MO." in part When I finally finish the quilt
top, get it sandwiched and basted and
ready to quilt I am all excited and enthusiastic to start the machine
quilting. The first two or three blocks get quilted to death. Then
I run out of time or just want it DONE and I start cussing myself for
starting out with such a huge amount of dense quilting because I have
to continue that standard in the remainder of the quilt. grrr!

Yep. I'm in that "what the heck was I thinking that not one square
1/4 in. should be without quilting stitches???" right now. And I need
this quilt to be finished- like now. Or by Sunday.
