If I do 50 strips long, will it be too, too unwieldly for sewing? I have nearly all the strips cut and plan to do 8 panels. Basically, I guess I am asking if I am nuts for thinking about trying this... I am a hand quilter, so I should be finished with this sometime forty years from now, right? (right after I finish the hand quilting on the OC quilt, right after I piece the OC quilt! I think your site is totally addictive and can't wait for the book. God bless you!<BR/><BR/>HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080063950356273909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-734847269719872142008-01-30T20:02:00.000-05:002008-01-30T20:02:00.000-05:00Wow, I leave for a few days and can't believe how ...Wow, I leave for a few days and can't believe how much you have going on.<BR/><BR/>I love Amazon too - I'll have to take a look around your *store*.<BR/><BR/>I'm tempted by the Super Bowl Bargello but I'll have to see how caught up I can get before Sunday.

We have cut two sets of 96 strips each and will swap one set. It's going to be exciting. All the best for your move - I'd help if I lived a bit closer. I do anything for pizza.<BR/>NicolaHarmany Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666564938764124294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-6135805926689651512008-01-30T09:33:00.000-05:002008-01-30T09:33:00.000-05:00Wish it wasn't so far from Idaho, I would be there...Wish it wasn't so far from Idaho, I would be there at the crack of dawn with my paint brush in hand, even thou it's my birthday.
