Thank you everyone for comments - I am still busy chainpiecing all the triangles!
Izy & Elle, my hands problem is bizarre - every 10 days or so, one or a couple of fingertips & fingers swell and are so painful, sometimes my palms as well so badly I cant close my hands. It then disappears. I have had all the allergy tests going, including Lymes disease, all negative. Blood tests all normal. Have seen a consultant rheumatologist for tests & he doesnt know what the problem is. I am taking anti inflammatory tablets daily which help.
I am hoping it's a temporary thing, or my quilting days will be limited.
This quilt is going to be my first big free motion job - I have only dared tackle up to lap size so far.
No, Elle, not French fabric - it is from the Timeless Treasures "Fleur" collection, and I actually had this lot a couple of years back from Hancocks Paducah, USA. But I had to scour the web to get extra when I decided on pattern!
