Glad you're happy with the waistband - they can be tricky. Drawstring is smart.
Oh, I know about having to redo. Ugh. I really don't want to have to redo when I sew the outer border strips on this. But it's amazing how I'm fretting over it and maybe procrastinating. Got to just trust that I've pinned enough and get it done.
Today I finished the last block of the top third of this quilt, and the bottom third is quilted. Together, they had about 17 block-sized sections to be quilted, so that's done.
Maybe in the a.m. I'll have a quiet house early, clear space on the den bar and baste the last part. That part has about the equivalent of 9 sections, but the backing and batting are already cut out and ready.
Bringing the little graph back in, I think I am within 9 parts of 30 until quilting's finished. Of course, that doesn't get the quilt bound and complete, but I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Earlier this week I finished the prayer shawl.
No knitting after that for a while to let my shoulder rest and heal.
Got the diff. draw string in pj's that went quite well as I just tied it to the end of the one I was taking out!
That worked slick and seems to be working. I tested it out this morning yea for success!
