Back

 After one month, my back is almost normal again.

I'm so excited.

I'm going to ease my way into all my usual activities though.

I really do not want to re-injure myself.

Once was bed enough!

I did start quilting again last week, but only in short bursts.

I've been quilting more as my back agrees to it.

This is the section I need to finish so I can roll down the quilt.

That will mean it's at the half-way point.

I wanted to have this done for Connor's birthday in April,

but the bad back threw my time table out the window.

I have already told him it won't be done in time.

I will choose to celebrate what I do have done.

:)

I have also decided to join a quilt block challenge.

It's my first.

It looked simple.

It also meets one of my goals for the year: a half square triangle sampler quilt.

These were not my first color choices but I think they'll still work.

I was trying to use fabrics I already had.

Thankfully they had a color sheet so you could fill in your own colors.

(Yes, I was in a hurry when I colored this.)

It's called Snowy Day Quilt Sampler by Andrea Smith of Happy Cloud Creations.

The block challenge is hosted by National Quilters Circle.

I finished the first block Monday.

A new block will be released each week.

The eggs and clocks will be my background fabric with the newsprint as sashing.
I plan on posting my blocks as I get them done.
