Gorgeous blocks, everyone. You all are so creative in your colors and fabrics….each one is unique. That’s my favorite part of mysteries, to be honest….seeing what everyone comes up with for the same quilt..

Here's a quick picture of my first clue 6 block, up on the design wall. Top and bottom rows have not been joined to the center yet. Ran out of sewing time, but wanted a picture.
woops! Clicked on the wrong one. This is just a few of the smaller ones!

Well, that’s my opinion and everyone gets to have one.

Pet, I'm so sorry about your sleep issues. When I had lung cancer surgery in September I had a few days in hospital with a ginormous tube coming out under my arm leading to a big drainage machine on the floor. It was SO painful. Add to that I also have insomnia issues, so the nurse asked if I'd ever used melatonin. When I came home I tried it and it Really did help. I started with 3MG and now use 6MG. I usually sleep well until about 4 AM which is Really good for me. Can't hurt to try it? Sad to here you had lung cancer surgery. Is there more process to your healing? As to melatonin, I’ve tried it before. My insomnia is worse. Maybe I’ll try it again. Thanks
I was also introduced to tapping early this year (well now last year) which is an offshoot of acupuncture and acupressure. the app has a lot of different modules for various problems, but the months leading up to my surgery were greatly anti-anxieti-fied, don't know what I'd have done without it. I've heard many people say the sleep modules have been miraculous. OK. I give. What is “tapping”? Internet is fabulous for info. Have to research.

I assembled my central blocks this week, replacing the white neutral sashing with a patterned one from the kit I disassembled and used that for the BPT. I found looking at all the blocks assembled on FB the softer BPTs weren't so eye painful. I also reversed the tulip-y blocks just because I like geometric designs. And I haven't actually sewd clue 6 yet. Patience Grasshopper... Had to laugh! Been thinking about “grasshopper” and Groundhog Day. They remind me I’m supposed to be the follower and a submissive student,,, so that I don’t have to relive the day over and over. I’m not willing to ‘ribbit’ and repeat sewing, so I’m following directions. Now, what does that have to do with the price of gasoline in New York? Please, just ignore me, I think I’m loosing concentration.
I am pink to Bonnie's orange, and had just enough to do a set of 8 1/2 square block sets with two fabrics.

I had 9 patches left over, also. I thought it was me, I’d made a mistake. In order to avoid using numbers, will you pm me how many you have left. The number I have doesn’t seem to fit any pattern.
