Ahhh come on now this is just good clean fun!! LOL No pressure on anyone to be perfect!! I am far far from perfect and if you saw me doing the last quilt block you would have laughed at me!! I had it all in backwards and upside down and had to take it apart and was so disgusted with myself!! LOL I love the end product and I like making the blocks but sewing the Bostons together or whatever blocks is my least favorite part! I think it is the having to straighten and fix things that are crooked that gets me down. When I join blocks together my seams aren't always straight and then the quilt block is soo crooked! I know how to watch at each step and fix anything that is out of whack but that is the part I detest. So I procrastinate. I layout the "Blocks" on my sewing machine and just look at them for awhile-days and days sometimes! LOL- and then I might work on a few of them and then I leave it for awhile. At one time when I was selling to a local gift shop - I even figured out how I could lay them out on copy paper and stack them and put them out of sight so I wouldn't have to look at them til I was ready to work on them. I am terrible about having to be "in the mood" to work on things. And sometimes that mood can be so illlusive!!! LOL

I've heard from Dee also so am busy now pulling out fabric (always fun to do) to see what will go for each of the blocks.
Today has been a great day. I received Rhonda's templates (thank you Rhonda) and a great friend sent me fabric (Thank Dee), at work a co-worker gave me wrap around sun glasses that will help me see better, and even the ex dropped off artificial tears since I'm not taking steroid drops any longer. At least they are artificial tears and not real ones. LOL (we are still friends). Today is great day! Yep Yep
