This project did at first make me think, "Oh ya, I can do this, really quick!' but then it was suddenly daunting with a whole king size quilt to machine quilt in a quick way. It meant I'd have to have an attendant to help me move the big quilt through my home machine and I really enjoy hand quilting more than that. I would need help with pinning it on the floor, OMG, this means I must wash the floor! Just joking, but it started to feel a lot like a more work. And as I get older these questions do arise with each new quilt I make, so I look for easier ways to do things. So I cut it all up! Yes, the freedom feeling that it gave me was instantaneous and I felt a lot better being able to really calculate how soon I'd have this quilt complete and in the mail. Of course, I didn't count on Canada Post going on strike. So, I elected to do Free Motion quilting and QAYG on each block and then sew each block together again using Marti Michells
