It's been a crazy couple of weeks on Moose Bay. In between all of the holiday doings, Mr. Moosebay and I have managed to squeeze in numerous medical appointments: a mammogram, two physicals, three trips for blood work (and a follow up consultation), an eye exam--how much more fun can two people have?

| I think I know how these two feel! |
Unfortunately, we will be making a lot more medical treks since Mr. Moosebay has been diagnosed with a pretty serious condition (totally treatable if he follows his doctor's recommendations). There are going to be some big changes in our household, all for the better, I hope!
I did manage to get some sewing in though! I've been able to stay on top of my
Grandmother's Choice blocks. This block had a very interesting story about women moving to the Western states to achieve more freedom.

I don't have all of my blocks together yet, but I think I am going to be very happy with how it will come together.

 |
| Part 7 continued: Construct 12 setting triangles |
 |
| Part 8: cut 16 squares for block centers. |

Wow! I think I am going to love this quilt.
I'm a little worried about my brown star points not popping against the teal blue and my taupe and cream four patches not having much contrast, but that's the risk of doing a mystery.
Overall, I like the results--especially the fact that I was able to use only my stash and mostly scraps. |
Oh wow! I love your colors - I think it's going to turn out wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteOh my dear Karen, I think you have both hit saturation point for Fun with your appointments :-). I do hope all goes well with the serious situation. Grandmother's Choice blocks looking good.
