So sorry to hear about your daughter! Seizures are scary. I started having seizures, out of the blue, when I was 46. It blows you away when you have the first one.
I love your blocks...the fabrics for each are perfect for each.

FryGuy ... I'm so sorry about your DD. Seeing a seizure is scary enough, worse when it's the first time and you really don't know what's happening. I didn't know what to do when my husband had his first one, or what was even happening. I hope you get some answers quickly, so that you are not in limbo too long as to the underlying cause.
Glad you got back to the sewing machine ... let it help give you some comfort thru all of this. Good idea on the tree turn. Like the FWS, some blocks look better on square/point and look like they don't belong in the squilt. And I like your Alabama too ... I always have smile when I see that white print in my stash!

fryguy--know all about the seizure angle! Oldest son had febrile seizure at about 15 months of age. Wouldn't you know his oldest daughter had the same (it was a stormy winter night when a scared young mom called me) and now this summer the youngest boy had one and another call to Gram. We just watch these two like a hawk when they have colds and fevers.
But you got a couple of great little blocks there despite the family concerns. Nothing like sewing to help take our minds off of problems we have no control over.

[QUOTE=oksewglad;4887530]Great blocks with great color combos! I too enjoy seeing "my" fabric in others blocks! mirabelle's used some of "my" fabrics in her FWS and she's a continent away too! Just wondering if there is more "western" fabric the further west one travels. I find more "farm" fabrics than "ranch" here in the Midwest.[/QUOTE
We just have really good tastes
, I even used a few that Laurie had used in her FWS, the world really is getting smaller

Fryguymoore ask lots of questions of your physician, our son had a seizure at age 24 and we were referred to a wonderful neurologist who did lots and lots of tests and DS was diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy called reading epilepsy brought on my excessive reading. What does DS do - reads book after book. It is now controlled through medication and he has no side effects, no further seizures. Holds down a full time very stressful job in the sugar industry.
There are many many reasons for seizures, I wish you and your DD all the best and hope you find some answers soon.

Back to my blocks, in order to make the apple tree upright I had to make the block 6 inches, the pieces were very small that way and I am suprised it came out okay. The other block came out too big but there are no points on the edges so I don't care [/I]
