Bev I hope your "puppy" is all better soon, it is very traumatic taking our pets to the vet.
Thank you everyone for all your kind words, as to the quilting, the design in the pink sashing I marked a centre horizontal line and then spacing lines every inch so I knew where to "hit" to start the top or bottom curve and where to "hit" for the centre mark. I hope that makes sense. That was the only marking done on this quilt.
I am about halfway through the 4th Ron McD quilt and I am looking after my shoulder, spoke to a massage therapist and they advised hot and cold packs so that is what I do every night. I sleep all night without waking in pain and it only starts to niggle a little by late afternoon. Have been doing this for the last few days, it won't fix the problem but if the pain is lessened I am all for it.
