before surgery tomorrow. This is the throw quilt I am making for our 9 yo son. It's just his size 48" x 55" for cold winter mornings before school. :-D I will sandwich it tonight and work as hard as I can to quilt some of it before my reconstructive knee surgery tomorrow morning. I have several projects that I will be sewing the bindings on and taking paper off of my New York Beauty project during my recovery when I can't be at my machine. I really wanted to stay as busy as possible, it's going to be hard being out of my sewing room. I'm not one to lay around, but I'm sure my knee will dictate that I just stay comfortable. Take care. :-D

Just Beautiful!! Good Luck on your surgery.

Love your scrappy. The colors are perfect. Your grandson will love it too.

that is beautiful good luck on your surgery have a great night my prayers will be with you.

That one really pops --I like how the pieces come together--you get like a 3-d effect. Where did you find the pattern? Good luck on your surgery. Can you sew with your other leg/foot or are you having both knees done? I was able to sew with my left foot when I broke my right ankle. Now I can't seem to switch back to the right. will be thinking of you and please keep us posted if you can.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Love the quilt and I am sure your son will as well. Wishing you a very quick recovery and sucessful surgery.

Very pretty! Good luck with the surgery!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! What's the pattern? I would love to make this. As for your knee - been there, done that. I hope it's your left so you can get back to quilting soon!

Thank you all!!

I found this pattern in a Jelly Roll quilt pattern book from the Library. It looks quite complex but is very simple and goes together easily. It's from strips of any size light/dark/light/dark, I used 4, 1&1/4" strips which equaled out to 4 1/8" squares. You then cut on diagonals and piece them alternating light and dark.

I'm really scared to go into surgery and it means a lot that you all are here for me. The surgery is on my left knee and lasts about 3 hours and around 5 hours in recovery room. A screw and a plate will be left in my knee. Thanks for the well wishes, it's greatly appreciated. :-D
