Well, Ripley's ear has been drained and we're just watching it to see if it blows up again. As for the cancer, it appears she's not really having symptoms yet and the doc seemed a bit surprised. So, that being the case, I'm going to try to stop the nagging thought that "this week" could be her last. It seems like she has some months yet. But one never really knows. She had a hard enough time with the draining so no more tests, only an occasional blood draw if deemed "necessary". She tolerates that very well.
It was the Aurora block that I was going to make for Hav, not the gazillion HSTs although that has given me another idea. I love HSTs. I did start an Aurora block for another Boomer this morning. Hope to finish it and another block by tonight.

TG and Hav4, thank you for the gorgeous blocks! I just love what everyone is doing with my fabric.
Here are my last two blocks, one for Libster and Terri. Now I need to get working outside on the yard this week, the weather is just beautiful. I also have the kitty quilt from the last boom loaded on the long arm, I can't wait to show everyone what I have done with all of your lovely blocks.

Janice, I hear you about waiting for the "other shoe" to drop so to speak. We had a similar situation with Carmello, our sweet cat, but he lived much longer than anticipated. I'm so glad we were able to just enjoy him. Wishing Ripley the best!

Janice - when I saw this pattern (called modern churn) it made me think of dancing and thats what those shoes are doing.
Hav 4 - Loved your fabrics and went to my go-to patterns called Raspberry Cheesecake.
Libster - I agree the green makes your fabric pop - and made another Cheesecake block
LogCabin - your birds needed to fly and I loved working with both of your fabrics. Block is Brave World
So much fun doing these - taking my time too!
Sun finally shining and not too windy today.
