Cap I have not tied a quilt.....yet.
SGC. It gets even more intimidating when I think about it being a larger than King sized quilt when it is finished. My quilting hoop is a big oval floor stand that DH got me for Christmas. I've hand quilted twin sized before and they have gone pretty quickly. Of course I've just used a simple 'diamond' pattern.
I did get pics of the 7 square I have done along with the fabric I'm using. Just got to upload. But first, off to the deep freeze to take care of the noodle brains.
Considering Solar. Neighbor went with 9 commercial grade solar panels that he mounted on his barn roof. The inverter is pretty impressive. Unfortunately, he is learning that the system isn't providing enough power for his family of 15 and is considering adding a wind driven system. DH tried to warn him that he would be amazed at how much more power he would need but as the old saying goes, can't put an old head on young shoulders.
We would like to put in a wind driven system to supplement but even those are pretty cashy. Of course one thing we have a lot of here is wind.
