Your quilt is off to a great start and will be beautiful when you complete it-keep moving on. I also have MD in one eye so I know exactly what you are saying about the situation. I appreciate all of the comments made by others regarding this condition because there are nuggets that shed light on the condition and the struggle that goes along with it. Every day that I can sew and read is a blessing. My doctor is amazed at things I continue to do and so I keep on keeping on!

Looks like your on your way. I'm still in the color selection phase. The one I'm doing takes 31 fabrics and I am overwhelmed.

So far it has been 15 years, and I have read a lot of books! (I used to be on a self-imposed book budget, as I am a bookaholic as well as a quiltaholic.

But I can. I got to the step I was worried about this morning, and I can do it! I am pretty excited, as starting this quilt was a bit of a "leap of faith."

Here is where I am now. I want to thank all of you who gave me hints for making a Bargello and help on fabric selection. This continues to be fun.

Your quilt is going to be BEAUTIFUL!!

Your color selection is so pretty and I am glad that there is a ruler to help you. I am glad there are solutions to help you keep doing what you love to do and are good at.

Sew anxious to see your completed project. Love your colors! I'm getting the shape cut after the first of the year if I don't get one for Christmas. Told him no more jewelry. I don't wear everything I have now. Told him sewing/quilting notions and supplies for me.
