Oh my goodness, so sorry you fell. I hope those muscles get back into shape soon. {{{hugs}}}

Now I get to play all day in my room (after cooking, cleaning, laundry.....sigh) so working on my DD's eyewatering quilt and my lovely hexagonal blocks!
Ooooohhhh, I want to come play in your new sewing room with your new laptop! :lol: Can you share pictures of the quilts? We would love to see them even though they aren't finished yet. :thumbup:

at least that is how it usually works....
How about creating a sandwich to practice on first? You won't have to rip out stitches from that!
Everyone has such wonderful things going on. I started a Day and Night quilt by Eleanor Burns and ran out of the blue fabric. Can't find any more of it, so I found another blue that I think goes with it nicely (the middle block). I also found a gold fabric that I wanted to pair up with the yellow center to give it a dimensional look. I'm not quite sure about it yet. I have enough cut to make one more of these blocks, then will have to decide if I like the all yellow center.
