Your OP made me choke up as I lost my mom many years ago and understand what this means to you. I look forward to seeing each and every block you complete.

So I try to get through the day, try working on my mom's quilt because I don't know what else to do now.

Oh, my dear. I'm so very sorry. I hope you have friends and family to help you through the coming weeks and months. Holidays are always difficult after suffering a loss...and separation is a loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I made a block today, it doesn't look straight but once in the quilt no one will notice

It's block # 22 Grandmother's Choice.

I love this block as my grandma was central in my life.

That will be a fine quilt. I also wish I could share my quilting with my mother.

QuiltE, thanks to Photoshop you don't notice anymore

Here's the block I made yesterday. Last Friday I hurt my right wrist very badly, yesterday I thought it went better but today I almost fainted because of the pain so no quilting for the time being

This block needs some adjusting too when sewing into the quilt, it's a bit too big (6 3/4" instead of 6 1/2") but I don't feel like doing it again now. Maybe I will, not sure yet.
