Well, Sewbiz, as a matter of fact, I have all my red group blocks sewn into strips and then joined into two big sections. They're laying across the end of my ironing board, pinned together, waiting for the last seam to join them together. Then, SOMEONE posted this tute for QAYG! It looked sooo much easier than what I was trying to do already, so I thought ,"I just have to try this with a few blocks and see how it goes." Well.....two finished quilts later, and those two pinned sections are still laying on the end of my board. I am seriously considering tearing them completely apart and starting over with my new favorite way ever. Here are my two finishes by that tute.

Libster, thanks for the pictures! Those are beee-yoooo-tee-ful.... I'm happy you are getting that kind of mileage out of the tute. I'm planning on doing my Boom quilts that way too. The blocks are perfect for it.

I have to go out of town on Saturday, down to GA to help take care of my parents. My father has not been doing well for quite some time and my mother is his primary caregiver. Well, she had to have emergency knee surgery after she fell. Now she is not getting around so well. Lucky for me, she has a sew machine and fabric. If I have to, I can finish my blocks at her house. I have three left to make. I am hoping to get them done tomorrow night.

Lovely blocks, Lstew. I'm sorry to hear about your parents' troubles. I do hope all goes well and they see improvement soon. Your block for LJDugas is beautiful. Happy to hear your therapy is over and it's much better. Whew. And it does take lots of time to work through a loss. I'm still working on it myself. It does get better though, at least in my experience. I think it's a lovely thing, putting the pup's ashes with your sister. Heartwarming.

[QUOTE=joanelizbay;7774098]My shoulder is feeling much better. Finished therapy Thur and go back to Doctor tomorrow. Sure am glad Im not facing surgery!! I know what you mean about taking a while to get over losing someone. Ill be sitting here and Charlotte will just cross my mind and Ill remember things from when we were kids...Im sure it gets easier but at least they are happy memories! Not sure if I told you all but she had a dog that was about 16 and died of old age...she had him creamated and had his ashes on her shelf. Her daughter decided to bury the ashes with Charlotte...said it would have comforted her...I thought it was a very natural thing to do also!! Definately ready for the next swap. I think I have 4
