Ever think you bit off more than you can chew?

That is a lot to get done. But the reason you are doing them is wonderful. My suggestion would be to make quilts that aren't as difficult to make as they appear to. DP9, and maybe even try a couple of quilt as you go ones. What ever you do, God will provide the means for you to get them done. God Bless you, for your efforts.

Go girl. My hardest thing on quilts is keeping them at a moderate size. Try those 10 minute block quilts. get a top done in a day. Its so hard dealing with the disease, my prayers are with you.

Take it easy Tamara, you're putting a lot of stress on yourself ... Quilting is a hobby and a wonderful one at that but we have to be careful at not taking it too seriously as then all the fun goes out of it...you're doing some wonderful work so just be,proud of whatyou do for others... Maybe you can be ready for next year's challenge....

So I volunteered to send to her a quilt that she could sell at the silent auction, I am currently working on a baby quilt, it is posted in the show n tell segment here. I also told her if she could find someone to sit at a table, I would make up some ladies wallets and other small things that they can sell.

Then I find out my cousin has cancer he has just begun his chemo treatments, and will begin his radiation treatments in July, so want to make him a D9P, with the main blocks being white, so that his kids and grand kids can sign it. And he can cuddle up in all their love when he gets cold.

I also will be attending Rockers 4 Knockers in Oct. and need to get things done up for it, along with a lap quilt for their silent auction. Rockers 4 Knockers is a benefit where about 10+ local heavy metal bands get together and play all day raising money for Cancer research. This will be the second time that I attend this. (heavy metal is not my thing but its for a great cause.)

On top of all this, I have another cousin who I am making a lap quilt for, and my son in law. And my to do list just gets bigger and bigger.

Lets hope I still have all my hair by the end of the year..

Again thanks everyone I do so appreciate the support and love through out this community. I see it every time I log in. I may not say to much, but know my thoughts and prayers are with everyone here.

I get so much inspiration from reading and looking at the progress that every one goes through.

My quilting doesn't go well when I work under that kind of pressure. I've been in your position a few times and every time I vowed to never again let that happen again, but it did. Since I'm older I have learned how to say 'no' and pace myself. Bless you for having the kind heart to want to do this for so many who could certainly use a loving touch! :)
