Kassaundra, perfect placement of the orange circles! I love that it's reversible and you've got your matching dress. Your talents continue to grow!

The hexie yoke is pieced, quilted and bound. The strips were 1 3/4 inches and left over from a tie I made for my husband so we will have matching outfits. If I make another there are a few changes I will make, like not gathering the front, and the side seam need some work pattern wise just so they fall a little better. The dress is fully lined and w/ just a little changes could actually be made reversible.

Marija, this is my second basal cell. The last one was on my temple and was substantially larger and deep and it took the MOHS surgeon quite a while to put my face together so I didn't look weird. He stressed the zero sun for at least a year and some expensive cream that worked great. I love my tiny scars. I hope he can do as well with the nose. I'm prepared for it to look bad for months so I won't judge it until I'm about a year out. I'm good with delayed gratification and my vanity level has always been fairly low so I believe I'm prepped for whatever happens next week. I appreciate the reminder about the hat and sunscreen.

Your baby quilt was very soft and pretty.
IrishMom, I cannot manage yesterday - lol - but if I'm very lucky, they might go out on Monday. Fingers crossed.

Janice - I would be happy to have had my blocks yesterday! I'm getting very excited to see and pet them in person.
The final package will be overnighted so it should arrive on time on Thursday. Woo hoo! Sooooo very close now!
