Making up for lost time
I may not have gotten started on time, but I'm starting to catch up. I have gotten a lot cut out, the HSTs are all sewn but need to be pressed and squared. I have cut some fabrics for the medium bordering squares. I have put two blocks together and placed the small squares around them. I am auditioning the mustardy gold for corners on all the blocks. So far, this is what I have. What do you think about those corners? I have also gotten a few rows of quilting done on the Turning Twenty. I even straightened the sewing room before I left it this evening! WOW- I must be sick!!
My daughter-in-law took some time off from work to take me to the doctor and he is concerned that this is the third time this year I am having the same problem-this time without any sign of an ear infection. Also, it is taking much longer to go away. So, to be safe, tomorrow I go for an MRI. We are not expecting anything, but want to eliminate unseen problems being the cause for the vertigo. The up side of this is that I won't be going to work again tomorrow, so I will be able to sew a bit before and after the appointment. That's my silver lining for tomorrow.

Your blocks are coming along great! I love the fabric that you are thinking of putting in the corners. I think it is a keeper.
I think the gold looks good-nice job catching up...good luck with the MRI.
The quilt blocks are turning out great. I really like your colors. Sounds like your daugther in law is looking out for you. Hope the MRI goes well.

Gail, I love your colors! I quit before I started on this project to leave the 1-hour commitment to do just what I need to do...like...um...catch up!
Love your color combination - and YES I really like the mustard yellow for the corner squares.
This color combo looks wonderful and that gold is perfect!
Sorry to hear about the health problems--hopefully they will come to some conclusion about this soon so proper treatment can begin.
Blocks are looking good. And I like the mustard on the corners.
I like the gold in the corners. Gives it a bit of brightness..........
When work interferes with my stitching I remind myself that it is nice to have a job.
I think the mustard yellow is great! Good luck with the MRI, let us know!
I love the colors you're using including the corners.
My Mom had some problems a few years ago with the vertigo thing coming and going - turned out to be an inner ear condition - bothersome but not serious. Hope yours also turns out to be nothing serious.
Your blocks are looking good :-)
Your colors are great!
I really like the pieced sashings too, they add a lot to the block. :)
Hope your appt. goes well.
I love your choice of colors for Judy's quilt, very harvest and autumn looking.
Good luck with the MRI, it's good that your DIL can be there for you.
You've made lots of progress on the hour a day quilt. I like the mustard.
