Okay... so I am still thinking things through here....  a bizillion years ago I had a boss write in a perfomance review that I figured out what I was trying to do before I tried to do it.  I thought it was the silliest thing and told him so.  He just grinned and said I would be amazed by how many people just launch off without knowing even what they were trying to accomplish or how they might do it.....

Let us just imagine for a moment....that I manage to sew a coverlet sized grouping of squares together....  Sewing never bothered me....it is the ironing that might do me in...... and let us just suppose....I have managed to secure equally large piece of quilt batting or pieced it together....and let us just suppose....I have decided the back side of the quilt will be a cotton sheet as where else would you get a piece of fabric that large....and then.....  Helloooooo?  What do you do?  Geez Cathy you said you would help me!  Thanks!  I haven't even gotten that far but I do like to think things through....  I haven't even started sewing....  I haven't found my sewing machine....I am not even sure if it works....I think I need to go to bed!  But what do you do?  I would think you would pin it all together and oh bother.....have to leave enough opening to reverse stick it in....and then hand sew the rest....   Do I have that right? 

Oh geez and then you quilt?   what was I thinking? 

I thank you friends for encouraging me!  So glad I landed in this group of lovely people.
