Thank you ladies for your input...if I can avoid surgery and get relief I am all for that. I might have to have my husband help with cutting. Or more likely ask a quilt-y friend to help me.
I was able to get a center block finished yesterday....so ahead of the game there.
I had a whole day home and just took lots of breaks. My idea of reds didn't pan out since I wanted to just use scraps. Instead I found this black w/flowers, birds and butterflies that I had 2 yards of. I have no idea what I bought it for and didn't find coordinating fabrics in my stash so thought it would be a great option for a Round Robin. When I re-sized from 12" to 15" I messed up so it isn't exactly like the original block I posted, but I still am happy with it.
