I started to cut this one out Saturday after a "week to forget".
It turned out to be great "therapy" and kept my mind busy :o)
So let's recap.
Saturday morning I started with this
by Sunday lunch I had these
all 77 of them :o)
and by lunchtime today I have this
The pattern is Hopscotch by Camille Roskelley
and there are NO "y" seams in sight and it is not
as scary to make as it may look.
Now I just need to trim the edges, buy some basting spray, sandwich and quilt!
And an update on my No 2 son, Dec.
The doctors have decided not to do an MRI/surgery but to give
him (his knee) a couple of weeks to start to heal and then reassess.
They are fairly confident that the tendon has not completely torn away from the kneecap.
Hopefully this non invasive treatment plan is the best option for him.
He will still be in a brace for 2 - 3 weeks and follow up treatment,
physio for up to 3 months so the football season for him this year is almost written off and
this fact is harder for him to deal with than the pain and discomfort of his knee :o(
Thank you for taking the time to stop by today,
hugs, Sharon

Now I'm going to have to get that pattern too. I just love that quilt and you got it together so quickly. I hope your son's knee heals with the rest and he doesn't need surgery. Prayers for both of you as he recuperates.

ReplyDeleteMine is cut out and it's so tempting to sew today but I have project instructions to write up for Fatquarterly which must be done today.
ReplyDeleteIt looks Fantastic! I may have to rethink that pattern...

ReplyDeleteAll the best with your sons treatment, better to forego one football season now than have a wrecked knee for life!
better news about your son, thankfully!
