I have managed to get a couple of blocks done but need to get pictures taken so I can post. I have to confess, as a new boomer I feel a little intimidated with so many amazing blocks, and of course there is that small fear when making that first cut into the fabric! I don't know if it's just me but I'm having so much trouble deciding on blocks that will best use the focus fabric. I think I've printed nearly a ream of paper and spent hours trying to decide on a pattern! I'm still amazed that I've managed to get any done! LOL! Good thing there's still a couple of months to finish!

this is the one you wanted to see. Got a new Christmas quilt made and I'm sewing that binding now. Made a table runner to match for the coffee table and 2 smaller ones for the end tables.

We all love the eye candy.

Libster--the green and white quilt for Axel looks great! He'll have so much fun studying all the blocks over and over. A great quilt to "grow up" with.
Suzi--have you looked at patchworksquare.com? I found many blocks on there that are easy to read, have good diagrams, and samples of whole quilts made with that block. I was brand new to the Booms this past winter, and spent a crazy amount of time trying to decide which blocks to do. I was happy with every one that came from that site.

Thank you to everyone who posted here and sent emails and pm's with offers of help and thoughts and prayers. You all are so wonderfully kind. Yesterday, I will admit, was one of my worst days, and I'm afraid I may have presented a more dire picture than I meant to. I'm ok right now, just very, very shaky and some things (like sewing and cutting) that were completely natural are now extremely difficult. Docs are working to get meds straightened out and so far that hasn't happened adding to the problem but I have confidence everything will settle down soon. I'm still getting scans and tests and I've got no explanation for what's going on. But, sooner or later I will. In the meantime, I'm going to keep on trucking with the gallery (when it cooperates) and will keep you in the loop as much as I can without me becoming the focus of the swap. You all are the focus and I really want it to stay that way. Thank you all again.
