OK, I got an update from JoeAnn last night. After a month and a half of trying to get her doctor to take her seriously about her severe arm pain, she had an MRI last week. The MD called this evening to say that she has several severely herniated and bulging discs in her neck and that she was referring her to a neurosurgeon STAT for surgery. Poor JoeAnn was a better woman than I would have been, she didn't remind the doc that this had been going on as long as it had. :hunf: I also told her that if she were a dog, she'd be blind, have three legs!
Anyhow, I finished k3n's center. I'm having to hide it from Mom. She actually stole it off my sewing table and tried to hide it and keep it! :shock: But I have it safely boxed up and will mail it to Esqmommy this morning.
K3n is in the process of moving back to Britain, and won't have internet access for another week or two. She FORBADE me to post unless she saw it first, so that's why I posted the unfinished round before. This is complete! Whew. That was a lot of petals!! LOL

You did a great job..I love Monsieur LaCroque! I guess he might be changing his name now to something more..well...English!! :lol: :lol:
Please tell JoeAnn that our thoughts are with her..I'm so sorry to hear about the discs..but at least NOW they can do something to help her, (the poor dear!). I'm with you, not sure I could have been so restrained..but I guess it wouldn't do a lot of good to have let it out.. :roll:

OK, well, I know this is round 4, and these are round 3 photos, but I didn't want them to get lost. Here is Esqmommy's center. I was waffling about whether to make HST's to pull the center design out, so went down to the LQS for a consult. LOL. It was pretty unanimous that what was needed at this point was something simple. Mom had found this fabric at Hobby Lobby and it matched the floral in the geese perfectly. The center floral is lilies, but it is REALLY close to them too. So I put just a plain border on, and I really like the effect. I don't think the colors show too well, but it's overcast today with rain. I hope you like it Esq. It's going to come to you for you to arrange the last round, since JoeAnn had to drop out due to health issues.
P.S. After the sunflowers, this went on so fast my head was spinning! LOL. What a difference!

Thanks Elle. It really looks so much better in person. I don't think the photos show it well. But I'm happy with it. And Mom wants to keep this one too!! LOL This one was such a breeze after the sunflowers. The hardest part (and it's not hard) was mitering the corners! :P
P.S. You can't see it in the photo, but there was a teeny difference in the blacks in the background of the florals, and Mel's black. So I have a quarter-inch of a green that matches Patti's applique in between. Remind me NEVER to do another quarter inch sashing!! :shock: :roll: :lol:
