Bootsy hope all your meds knock the flu and sinus infection out quickly.

Sewbiz thanks for for the tips about eating greens. Have never tried turnip greens. Thought I was really brave trying collard greens.

Jaba Myla is such a sweetie and love her smile and your top is terrific, love the medallion and how it ties all the blocks together

Mona great top, love how you made the borders.

Sorry I went all "Mama" on you! I really do swear by those greens for getting over colds quicker. They are great to eat regularly if you are a person who gets sick often.

Turnips are similar but a bit more delicate texture and flavor. Collards will boost the immune system too.

Mona, that's a great quilt top! You got some pretty blocks. Love how you used 4 blocks as the cornerstones.

Mine won't be as fast in coming together, because I'm quilting each block before putting them together. I'm trying to decide on a backing fabric now. Might have to go shopping (HORRORS!) :D

Mona and Jaba, wonderful tops already put together! My blocks are still patiently waiting in their envelope for the April group to come in. These rail road tracks running across my belly is decidedly inconvenient!

Tried to work on the hardest part for me....sashing or no sashing...Grandson decided he wanted to help me place the blocks, you can imagine how that turned out! :) I love the one Jaba and Mona did. Might be 2-3 blocks short for the king size I want it to be but think I only have enough left over fabric for 2 more... Wish sashing came easy for me!!
Great job everyone..thanks for ALL the blocks.

Feel free to go "MAMA" on me any time as i lost my mother when I was only 42 and she was 62 dam cigarettes will do it every time. I take it you are trying to help me and nothing could be nicer than that. I will try you suggestion as soon as I can get the greens hopefully that will help.

I'm sorry you lost your mom so young, bootsy. I lost mine when she was only 66-- also way too young. My mom had a lifetime of health issues.

Hope you are starting to feel better soon.

Awww! Darling baby pic! Beautifu quilt top, too. You waste no time, do you? :) When you get it done, post it and I'll add it to the others.

I have a few of them to do when we get back home:) [ATTACH=CONFIG]570394[/ATTACH]Yesterday we spent the day at the beach with this little one. Myla is like a little fish, she loves the water[ATTACH=CONFIG]570395[/ATTACH]

My gosh! We should have called THIS group, the overachievers! Beautiful quilt top, Mona! I knew the orange and purple would be pretty but this is even better than I could have imagined. Love your borders with the blocks in the corners. Wow.

Here is my boom 18 quilt top, ready to go to the long arm quilter the next time I run out to her house.
