Mousie,
My kids used to have problems with their eyes and we would boil water and add a little Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo [I'm sure other no tear formula would be ok] wait til the mix cools slightly, but when still a little warm use a q-tip along the eyelashes - should start with the non-effected eye if you want to do both, toss the tip and use another for the effected eye. This works well for many eye infections, but pink-eye does require an antibiotic ointment unfortunately.

good luck!! sounds like your arms are full!!!

Welcome retirednana!
Losie, congrats on your DD's wedding!
Mousie, good luck with the babies!
I'm a little loss of QB, I was traveling, taking a few courses Quilting, whose photos can be viewed on my blog.
I went this weekend, but again another reason to travel!
Come to my country, Argentina, to present his show Mr. Eric Clapton! The "Master" of the guitar! And tomorrow I will delight hear him play live for the first time! I am very happy and excited!
I hope to get next week to sew really!
I do the second block AOTH, but I dont like the colors, so I do it again.
I hope you all spend a beautiful weekend!
A big hug!

thanks for the info, gus-gus!
I took some baby shampoo over today and mom said it might work for his eyes, but unfortunately it would exacerbate a skin condition that he has.
It has just gotten to a better point, so we wouldn't want to aggravate it.
She thinks it's a type of allergy.
My youngest grandbaby has allergies. Is it me, or are these kinds of things more common these days?
I stayed with mama and baby today, to get him more used to me, but tomorrow, it's just me and him and the romper room at mousehouse.
Let's hope it goes well. He is a goodnatured baby, but when he is with mommy he wants her to pick him up.
I also get very sleepy, sitting around. I'll be able to move around and take him out in his carriage tomorrow.
I'm glad to hear that I won't be alone with AOTH.
I know a bajillion things have hindered me this summer, but I am still determined. I love this quilt pattern and my fabrics are yummy and waiting patiently :thumbup:
I'll try to drop a line when I can. Playing everything by my Big ears here ;)

Hi Gus, I'm not Lesley of course, but I can point you in the right (I think) direction. Here is how she, I, Elle, Jan and probably a few more have done our Jane quilts. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-28063-214.htm I seriously considered doing my AOTH this way as well...but I decided that I would like ALL the quilting to show on the back for this one and also I want the back to be 1 piece. So...I am going to quilt in sections, but the back will only be 1 piece. There was a tute on this method on the board also. That method is a machine quilted method though.

I loved how Jane turned out and the bonus was that when I was finished piecing my blocks, all the quilting was also done. Anyway, the link is to where Lesley started her quilting on Jane.

Sorry I am a bit late coming in here, as Patti has, I think, answered your questions.

I can't quite get my head around how you will quilt your blocks as you go, but are keeping the backing in one piece, and still aim to get all the stitches through all three layers. Or have I got that wrong?

I will do it like this Lesley. This is the same link I put on your PDA, but wanted to answer you here in case someone else was wondering.

I've read over everything...great stuff!! thanks. I have another thought though. If you stitch in the ditch at any point at all for your final quilt, wouldn't it be easier to make your final quilt sandwich with top batting and back sections?? when you sew your blocks together carefully you will be stitching in the edge of the block ditch wouldn't you? Then all your stitches would show and you would be dealing with small pieces at a time???

Thanks, GV!

Just found this link and ordered the book. Sounds like my cup of tea. Gramakitten
