I am up to 4 rows. I had stopped making 4 patches (SICK of making units!), so I had to stop making blocks to go back and finish up. I keep seeing orange and green in my sleep! HA! here is a picture of the design wall. I am waiting to put the blocks together until I have all of them completed. I just stash dived for more variety on the 4 patches. I want to be able to mix them all up before making a top.

Oh! spending 4 days at the AQS quilt show here in Phoenix didn't help my progress! My feet are still complaning... I do know there is one block missing. It was on the ironing board and I was too lazy to take another picture!

Isn't it great when those circles start to emerge? I too saw the green, orange and blue in my sleep but considering the greyness of winter not a really bad thing. Great progress!

I made two pinwheels today/nite, and made them backwards!!! gosh darn. I PP them. they were the right size, and I sewed two complete 9.5 squares together. to see how it would look. ooookay for starters. but need improving.

SewNsew: I made every single one of my pinwheels backwards. You know what, I went with it. Didn't effect the pattern, thank goodness.

I don't think it makes any difference which way you do the pinwheels as long as they're all the same. It'll still look great.

Nellie, Sorry that you have been so very sick. Eight days in the hospital is a long time. Glad that you are home. You will recuperate must faster at home. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Blue Bell

hi blue bell , thank you it is nice to be home again

I had some pinwheels going both directions and once it's in the quilt, it's not noticeable at all. Glad that you're feeling, Nellie.

Nellie, I'm so sorry to hear what a rough time you've had, but glad that you are back home now. I really find it so unfair when someone else's situation/family have an impact on the other person in the room. What about your privacy? I nurse friend of mine had a situation recently where a very ill patient had MANY family members by his side and they were understandably very upset at his critical condition and were very verbal about it. That was upsetting the elderly patient in the next bed, but nothing was done about it until that patient's family complained. We really have to advocate for ourselves and family. I don't know what the best answer is, but the other patient's needs have to be considered as well. Anyway, glad you're on the road to recovery.

Emma, that is funny. and what is funnier, Is that you admitted it!!!! (I don't always admit my mistakes) in a quilt.I gift them knowing full well,that they aren't perfect, and never point out the mistakes. except once, with a grandson who got really up set because he had done a long and tedious math assignment completely wrong, and so had to spend two hrs redoing it. so, I took a PP star quilt off his bed, and showed him where I had to rip out and redo, and, piece, because I had cut lots of pieces too small.
