I cannot wait to see what you do with this one! Loved making it for you,

Block For Groovy Pieces Made By Bee Beatty
Groovy.....This block has a story. You are becoming unforgettable! One day, when I am too old to sew, I will remember these Swaps and think of you and chuckle. Maybe because I remember the "Friday the 13th Block" , I approached making your block with an absolute resolve to make this one perfect!
So I found an unusual star pattern that required using my Tri-Rec rulers that I bought some time ago and had never used. Off I go to check out the video tutorials on YouTube. After watching three different ones, I was confident to begin cutting and sewing.
Cut 2 triangles, then 2 rectangle pieces for the sides....sewed all together and whoaaaa! the block was 4 1/4" on one side and 3 1/4" on the other side???? What happened I thought! Ok, cut the pieces to try again...this time I sewed the wrong angles together.....and then it happened....that still small voice that loudly proclaimed..."Ok...put down the scissors......slowly move away from the sewing machine and no one will get hurt !"
Before I sacrificed all your fabric, I decided to go with the "Paper Pinwheel", block design. Finished it and now going back to see if I can re-construct the "Tyrectasarous" Block!

Bee Betty I had the same thing happen to me on Gagjin's block. Frustrating to the max
good news for a change. My Mom has pretty much been in a zombie like state since she was transferred to transistional care. Then today she snapped out of it for a bit but accused everyone of trying to kill her. To make a long story short she saw her doctor today and it turns out she has been on OxyCodin and Doc thinks that is the major culprit she will also receive a blood transfusion for low hemoglobin and that should perk her up. Hopefully she will be on the road to recovery very soon. Terriamn

Happy news, Terri. Your mom will be back to her old self when the meds are adjusted. (Many years ago my dad had surgery and thanks to the meds, he was spouting all kinds of crazy talk, too. The nurses though it was normal for him since he was old! My mother cleared that up FAST and his meds were adjusted and soon he was himself again.)

Terriamn,
Good to hear your mother is recovering nicely after her surgery. My mother is 84 and stills goes dancing. I am always waiting for a call from her friend who drives her. I can't imagine what she would be saying on meds..... Well wishes and prayers of healing.
Be safe,
Bee

That story brings back memories . . .
When my day came out of surgery we went to intensive care to visit and he swore up and down there was a black hole next to his bed that people were falling into. Wouldn't let us stand on that side of the bed. Tried to steal my SILs cloths. Said he was sneaking out.

I can relate to all those stories! I work in a nursing home and its easy to see when someone is off their meds or the meds have been changed! Even worse though is when they get a urinary tract infection or dehydrated! The mind is a strange thing sometimes isn't it?? SO glad shes better Terri!!
