This was after I had done all those teeny-tiny long tapered points & just wanted to get this finished!!! I threw away the wrong size scrolls. Don't need them for anything else & it was trash night. I just wasn't able to lay them on the block for comparison so you all could see the problem.
I have found that I don't mind the scrolls at all - it's those long tapered pieces where there is very little room to cram in the seam allowance.

I'm slow enough as is.
I know this is a learning process, but so busy in everyday life, don't have THAT much time ;)

thanks Gus and Losie for the prayers!
DSIL says dd's PSC is not as serious as some. Some ppl need liver transplants!
oh my...I am too old for this and that, and too young to see my babies suffer! I too, hope they get her feeling well, very soon.
She did eat some soup yesterday and it did run through, but she said it didnt hurt.
Small consolation, as she is on strong painkillers.
Missed you all this week. hugs

Well I'm being a bad wifey today and not visiting DH in hospital.
The reason being I do have to do stuff like food shopping and washing and checking in at work, but perhaps I might get a bit of work done on my next AOTH block as well.
Fingers crossed.

I think #13 is also going to get into the same category!!! I beefed up the center 4 crescents, but didn't think about doing the same to the 8 scrolls' ends. I am just about ready to start it. Am finishing up the embroidery on #12.
