Why didn't I finish this sooner?

Here's a quick view of a Project Linus quilt that I started piecing, oh, about 1 1/2 years ago. Why didn't I finish it then? Who knows? It's very cute fabric called "Brazen Blue Birds" by Timeless Treasures, which has these adorable nervy birds bedeviling an orange kitty. I like the little bordered center pictures in the star blocks which came from a panel, and I love the effect of the sashing, which came about because I had two possible yellow florals for the sashing and decided to use both.

Anyway, I've gotten it to this state and now it resided in my "Geez, I've got to start quilting" drawer. I'm wondering if I could find someone with a longarm machine in southeastern Tennessee who would like to collaborate on these. It would be sooooo much faster than my machine quilting. Any takers?
