At this point, I had just started and had three hatches done. Half of that mound on the left was on the floor and I just could not imagine how I would get all of that into that tiny space to the right of the needle!
But I did and I finished it this morning. Still have to do the cross hatching, but now that I have no fear it should be a breeze. While I was working away diligently on this, I realized that one of my inspirations is Shane, who blogs on Recycled Quilt. He is one prolific quilter. I really have never seen anything like it -- he starts one and before you can say "Take a break, dude," it's done -- quilted and everything! And even more admirably he does it without a lot of fancy, schmancy equipment and very little space. Thank you, Shane!

You know my love of the four and the nine patch, especially on point, and separated by a strip of other fabric to show off the quilting -yes, even my beloved feathers. Anyway, re your space issue - I got the new Nancy's Notions catalog the other day and there is a table called Add-a-Table which measures 29-15/16 x 36-15/16 x 29 high open - but adjusts to three heights - 29, 34 and 39. When closed, it measures just 4 inches deep, easy to slide out of the way. It is not inexpensive at $129 but with all things in Nancy's, if you add something to take you over $150, you can spread the payments over three months. That is how I got my Big Board on its own legs as well as the Tilt'able to put my machine on a slant since my table it too high to see the bed easily. I could have the legs cut down but it's Queen Anne cherry and to me, cutting it would be a crime. You do beautiful work. Want to quilt a quasi-Amish Jewel Box? It's from a Lucky Block round robin.
Hooray, you added the widget. Now add it to Bhu's blog too. Maximum exposure, right? The fade element is nice. I think when I got it, there was only one choice of template, and "slide show", the only option for breezing through what was in my Etsy shop. I learned about it from another Etsy seller - Virginia's Vignettes.
P.S. Obviously, whomever sets up the devices to prove one is not a robot, is not visually impaired. I wish him or her years of coke-bottle lenses for what these teenie letters and numbers are doing to my eyes - not to speak of the deep creases between my brows from squinting.
