Your fabric choices are wonderful Congratulations to you for challenging your mind to work outside the box so to speak. You are on your way and I wish you well.

This is a funny example because I can't look in the mirror and blow dry my hair! I had no depth perception for the longest time too. How about you? I'd fall off curbs. I had to have someone cross the street with me because I'd walk then look for traffic!

see if you can get a DR to check you out for Vestibular Damage.
has a lot to do with balance issues also as well as the ones from the brain injury. H*U*G*S

I have seen an ophthamologist. I'm fine now that way. It took awhile to get those things working well again. I also had no sense of smell. Couldn't follow a recipe or read for ages. I couldn't cook for years.

I bought a sewing machine that practically threads itself because I found threading a machine really difficult. I tried a shadow lap quilt and got the shadow pieces in the wrong places. I'm going to finish the quilt but it was frustrating. I find spatial things really difficult. Also processing directions is another exercise in frustration. I went to an occupational therapist for a couple of years who led me step by step in making my first simple sewing project.

There is so much about everyday living that causes a lot of frustration; let alone all the sewing and other things we add into the mix. Spacial causes me problems also. I also have Vestibular damage with adds another layer of major frustration.
For others who are reading this here is an example:
you want to blo-dry your hair.
you look in mirror, blo-dryer raised ready to dry hair.
Not a simple thing to do. The brain has to try and match all movements to what it is seeing in mirror. Spacially this is a problem; and not so easy.

The worst part of my 'shortages' is the inability to keep a face and name together. I will remember one or the other, seldom both. Upside is that I constantly get introduced to 'new' friends.

T*H*A*N*K**Y*O*U**A*L*L :)

Excellent fabric choice. And don't hesitate to seek help or encouragment from your friends here!

I don't think I know what a stacked coin quilt looks like. Do you have a picture of the pattern? Your fabrics are lovely.
