This is my first project after knee surgery--I wanted to sew but still was not up to thinking very much about what I was doing. The blocks reflect my lack of mental well-being--some are off center and the sashing isn't as smooth as I'd like!

Preprinted quilt block design.

I like both quilts. Sometimes the ones that aren't perfect in our minds are the ones that mean the most. If not to you than to someone else. I like the shape of them. They are both great. We are also usualy our toughest critic.

Ok your bad day is better than my good day! You did a great job. I like how you used the pre-printed material for the back. :D

the black sashing really sets it off. so nice, and with half your brain tied behind your back :?: :shock: :?: :shock: :?: :shock:
