That's another pretty one, too!
At the rate you make the blocks, you won't have any problem making up the 5 blocks, Jan. Give your poor cut finger time to heal.
Once I cut the tip of my pinky clean offwith my rotary cutter. My fingertip was lying there on the table, looking at me. I was able to get it to graft back on and heal nicely, but I think I put it on upside down, because now there is a funny lump there. (This sounds like a tale, but it's all really true!)

Thanks. I just finished my Arizona block for my other project. Then guess what... I cut my finger! Its sore and hurting so I will not be making any more blocks for a few days. I still need to make 5 blocks to get caught up in this R&R. Had figured to make them this weekend. Will see how fast my finger heals! 
Anyway, here is another of my 12" Civil War blocks.

The pain was nearly unbearable. I had to sit on the floor to keep from passing out. The only other times I had that much pain was when I had a wisdom tooth cut off my jawbone, and when I broke a toe. But I stuck the tip back on and kept it tightly wrapped. I used xeroform gauze (gauze infused with vaseline and iodine) and it really helped the healing. In a few days the color came back to that piece, and so I knew the blood flow had reconnected. Now you would never know anything had happened, except for a slightly odd shape to my finger. Frankensteinish...

BARB IN LA I am just getting the patterns randomly from what I see on the internet or in my old magazines. I just figure them out from there. I'm working on three lap quilts that start with a panel and I'm piecing 8 blocks to add to each. I'm cutting enough for three blocks alike each time, but just sewing one block. I have the panel on my design wall and when I sew a block I add it to the wall to decide if I like it. Here is the devil block that made me cut my finger.
Its block 5 of 8. I forget the name... [ATTACH=CONFIG]575522[/ATTACH]

Another UFO I'm sewing on today is a replica of a vintage quilt I bought at a flea market. The name of the blocks is The Radio Windmill from 1941. The vintage quilt on my bed is full/double. The picture of the blocks are my blocks that I am setting together today. It will be twin size for my daybed. I used bright white for the horizontal sashing but I think I will probably use beige instead of yellow for the vertical sashing (unless I decide on light country blue to match my room.) Using only fabrics from my stash so not sure if I have enough blue. If not, beige wins! Enjoy looking. (Oh, I almost forgot to say, I joined the VWQ someone mentioned.)

Fun, fun, fun! Maybe you can pat your new eye candy with your good hand. These stories about cut fingers make my stomach churn. I hope everything will heal up fine and soon.
