I do watch one of Lily's front legs. 5 years ago, she was lost for three days and at some point was caught in an animal trap. She was found with a broken leg and damaged tendons, plus shredded paws from running trying to find her way home. The tendons sometimes bother when the temps are low. Luckily, she's very graceful three-legged because I can't carry a 55 pounder.

I will start cutting red strips tonight, I promise. I'm only doing one block first to make sure I can do curved seams.
