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

Very pretty. Good luck on your surgery and God speed your recovery!

Good luck with your surgery. The quilt is beautiful.

Your quilt is beautiful! Know your son will love it.

Will definitely be remembering you tomorrow. My doctor has told me I need both knees replaced... I'm just putting it off as long as I can! But, I do know what knee pain is like. Hope this clears it up for you and you'll be back up and going soon. Let us hear from you when you can.

Love the quilt and get well soon.

Will be thinking of you tomorrow, hope everything goe's well. Hope you have lot's of help getting thru this. And that is one beautiful quilt. Love it....

I will be sending good thoughts your way. Hope the surgery goes well and recovery is uneventful. Your quilt is beautiful! Let us know how you are doing when you can.

I've had knee replacement, too. I was walking up steps with a cane in about 5 days. You will be able to drive when you no longer need the pain meds if it is your left knee. The pain is not bad and you will need to keep ice on it to keep down the swelling. Sleep when you can, do your PT and get one of those long handled magnets with the pinchers on the end. I went in to visit my class after about 10 days. Let people help you and keep your foot elevated. I will think of you tomorrow!! Don't be afraid.

Thank you all for your wonderful thoughts, prayers, and well wishes and also for the very kind praises for the little quilt. Will be thinking about all of you and will try to come back asap.

(((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))
