I'm not -supposed- to sew more than, say 24-30" at any time because of the arthritis in my hand, but I always do. I start sewing the binding, and I am so eager to get the quilt finished, that I always do more than I should. So, after I massage my thumb with ice (NO! It is NOT fun. It does NOT feel good. It hurts and I stop when I am on the verge of tears), I go to bed and give the hand a rest.I am -SO- in love with this quilt!

Have you tried using BioFreeze on your thumb? It sure helps mine . . .
Still wishing I'd seen Fox before it left Tennesse ~ I know it just HAS to be a stunner in person.
Julie, the ice works fine. I don't have PAIN, just stiffness. I wish you had seen it too. You'll just have to come to NH!
I look forward to see it with the binding, I LOVE the color of the binding! What a great finishing touch!
Now you KNOW you're supposed to pace yourself! But I sure do understand! LOL (I have thumb problems and arthritis too, and it ain't no fun.)
You know, I do that same thing with where I start the binding, for the same reason! *grin*
I too am anxious to see the quilt all completed!
