Update Update!
I got my cast off 3 days ago and today I felt so good (broke arme June 2) I asked for a liitle help on an accuquilt forum and made my first block. Worse block I've made in 30 years but I know why, making a scrappy sample block I shorted myself on my 2.5" cuts so it isn't a perfect 8.5" size, but I'm so happy!
I got the 8" qube + angles set and 4" Qube with corners set, which should make any block I want, and the 2" finished strip die and will get the 1.5" and 2.5" finished strip dies and I think that will be my investment for a long time.
and I got the electric Go and made my own catcher board out of boxes
oh, and I bartered for the Heart die so I can make hearts to leave around the country when we travel.
Now I'm going to go rice bag my wrist
but life is good! (this heart is just a sample, not mine but I love the idea)
