It also allows me to quilt when the weather is warmer.

I agree with it being so relaxing. I need to get another quilt finished and ready for hand quilting now that the weather is getting coooooold.

I think it will showcase the peel theme beautifully. This is such a beautiful colorful quilt. I love the T quilt also. At first I thought it was a Card Trick, but I like this pattern also.

When in the hoop, after it is well basted, I drag the quilt everywhere I go, sewing room to living room to outside on the deck or even in the car and I never worry. I fold it up to carry it and then spread it around me as I stitch. If it is well basted and you are careful when you move the hoop from spot to spot, I wouldn't worry about kids or pets. But I always worry about having spills on it, lol. Enjoy the stitching.
