I've been a bit quiet lately - been keeping up, but had trouble with my hands, still not a definite diagnosis so typing/sewing painful, but alot easier now.
This are the two blocks which will make my new quilt (queen). Blocks are ten & a half ins. square. I am rotary cutting it, and think you can see having trouble with the centre perimeter section on the union block. The lilac points are half of 2 & five-eighths sq. The cream triangle is quarter of 4 & three-quarter sq. & no matter how I try they dont line up with the rest of it all. Thought about cutting the cream same as the lilac points but think the centre seam would spoil the effect.
Anyway I think it will go together okay, dont you?

What lovely colors!

really pretty--I like your fabrics.

purples are my fav... its going to be beautiful.. can't wait to see finished product

I was wondering about you the other day!! Glad you are doing better! Your block is beautiful, love the lilacs! I think it will be fine the way you are doing it, cause I am really not seeing a problem!!!

Oh it is going to be gorgeous, and no, i can't see a problem either, it's beautiful!!! :) :) :)

It's beautiful. Can't wait to see it finished!

Very pretty, can't wait to see more!

Hope you are feeling better. Those blocks are pretty love the lilac color.

That is going to be GORGEOUS!!!! :D

Very pretty quilt blocks. Can't wait to see it all finished. The lilac fabric is beautiful.

What beautiful fabrics. Your blocks are fine. Keep up the good work. Glad you're doing better. lol

I think this one will be really special. Love you fabrics--so delicate!

Katrine: Points were designed to torment all quilters lol!! (aske how I know this week in particular :roll: :evil: )

Your quilt is going to be beautiful, love the patterns and your colours are very pretty :D

Hope you get your hands sorted out soon, I am having problems with my right wrist...its getting me down, so I can't imagine what you must be feeling having both of them playing up :?

Very Pretty...love lilacs....can smell them as we speak..warm spring sunshine...ahhhh

Katrine, may I ask are those French fabrics, they look so delicate. Love the colours very much. Hope your hands and wrists get better soon. I suffer with RSI and it is extremely painful. I have a little machine I bought called a Novasonic (Intrasonic Therapy- sound waves) it wonderful works from within the muscle and after just a few sessions with it my wrist is fine again. You can buy them on the Web. I loaned it to a friend and was so impress she bought one, she had back trouble. Many Physiotherapists use and recommend them

I think they are perfect

Love them. That is going to be a beautiful quilt. Glad that you feel better.

I think it looks just fine AND Very beautiful. Your doing a great job!

That is going to be a beautiful quilt.

Thank you everyone for comments - I am still busy chainpiecing all the triangles!
Izy & Elle, my hands problem is bizarre - every 10 days or so, one or a couple of fingertips & fingers swell and are so painful, sometimes my palms as well so badly I cant close my hands. It then disappears. I have had all the allergy tests going, including Lymes disease, all negative. Blood tests all normal. Have seen a consultant rheumatologist for tests & he doesnt know what the problem is. I am taking anti inflammatory tablets daily which help.
I am hoping it's a temporary thing, or my quilting days will be limited.
This quilt is going to be my first big free motion job - I have only dared tackle up to lap size so far.
No, Elle, not French fabric - it is from the Timeless Treasures "Fleur" collection, and I actually had this lot a couple of years back from Hancocks Paducah, USA. But I had to scour the web to get extra when I decided on pattern!

Hi Katrine, I hope you get relief soon, it is so debilitating to have something wrong with your hands especially. Good luck with the tests.

Will have to look at some timeless treasures.

My hands swell a bit when I sew a lot and will ache a bit, but it goes away

Worryingly though Ruth this has happened when I havent touched the sewing for 6 weeks, so it's not the cause - and the flesh is dark red and very hot. They even tested for gout !!!! negative too. DH says I've always been a challenge!

How pretty. Makes me yearn for spring! :D

First let me say how Pretty the colors are, then how much I love the pattern. I can't see anything wrong with them, but if you feel that strongly about it, I can pm you my address and I will force myself to use them ! LOL..

Secind, have they checked into your back and neck area for the pain in your hands ? I know I have a pinched nerve in my neck area and it affects my hands. It gets worse when I am sleeping, but after I am awaka and moving it gets better. Just a thought.

Keep up the good work ! I will keep my fingers crossed that they figure out what is wrong, I know how frustrating it can be. GOOD LUCK !
