To answer your question- NO, hahaha
When I'm done I already have several others either in the process or in my head :D

Makes you feel that you had lost your best friend. Know what you mean. Broke my wrist a while back and of course it had to be my right one. I was totally lost and very irritable until it was back in a productive stage. Hope it heals fast. Marge

I know exactly how you feel. I have not sewn in months,just had elbow surgery and can't wait to start doing it again. I hope I remember how. ;)

Wow sorry about your arm. But if you can maybe you could look into buying an Accuquilt fabric cutter. You can turn the crank either direction so I think you would be able to use either hand. Give it a try. Good luck.

you'll just have to get charms and sew them together into nine patches and then when you can cut they be ready to be D9P..

you could do it like they use to do before rotary cutters I sometimes still do it . Mark out with chalk and use scissors to cut it . Hop eyou heal soon remember get your good share of calcium to help the healing process

I only made a childs quilt and pillow that I had to give away as soon as I finished it. I thought it was the cutiest quilt I had made in a long time but I forgot to take pictures of it before giving it away and I still miss working on the quilt.

Do you have any quilting buddies close by that could help you out until your arm heals up?

I broke my wrist (also had surgery) early Nov and through PT have regained full use (even rotary cutting). Found out I have 9 pins holding it together. Keep using it-it will get better!

Oh, if I were close to you, I would love to do the cutting for you. That's my favorite phase of making a quilt. Take it easy and let that arm heal.
