Good luck and do all your therapy and if you feel you need more tell them.

I will check out the site, thanks.

It's amazing just how many people have had the surgery. Couldn't be quilt-related, could it? It's probably from all the unsewing I do. Thanks formyour note.

How about the High Light quilt pattern..Free here

http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/projec...h-light_1.html

It has big squares to show off the fabric. put some of your main fabric on front, and use the rest on the back..piece the back.

Or a "bento box" quilt

High Light quilt, NOT done by me.

Tell me what you think of those, I have saved a copy of your pattern. I am trying to stay in the African looking patterns and yours fits. Thanks

No, mine was from doing manual labor jobs most of my life with repetative motion (as you know). My hands do hurt sometimes during and after quilting. I still sleep with my braces on at night when they bother me. Keep your braces and use them when needed, they really do help. Good luck,

I checked them all out..the safari one would work, like the one you linked to.if you put the main fabric with the masks in the center..otherwise you will loose the pattern of that one. Everyone is so helpful! Great ideas!
when i am looking for inspiration,i go to webshots..
