Cathy I know how you feel on Monday March 3rd my MIL had a heart attack. She's 84 and the caregiver of her DH who has alzehimers. So between her and him my DH and his family are going a bit nuts. I help here and there but boy it sure is a strain on them. Touching the fabric brings down by Blood Pressure even if it's just for a few minutes.

Take care

Denise, your pieced backgrounds are beautiful! They really add alot to the blocks. Glad you've joined the Forum!

Cathy, I'll say a prayer for your Mom and DIL. I know you are thankful for your quilting--it has been a real stress reliever for me over the years.

Cathy...your block is beautiful, and is a beautiful way to deal with the emotions you are going through right now. We are so sorry to hear about your mom, and hope she has a full recovery. And also hope that your DIL gets through the radiation with minimal side effects.
Don't forget to take care of Cathy. There are a lot of people depending on you!
Sincerely,
Margo

I finished my March block tonight. I haven't started stitching any of them down yet because I'm not sure how I want to do the raw edge yet or how to quilt the blocks.

I'm sorry I missed notes to some of you but all the blocks are fantastic! My mom had a heart attack Monday so I'm behind on everything in my life right now and my dil starts radiation on Wednesday so I'll be driving to appt's 5 days a week for 6 weeks.

Looking forward to April's block now!
Cathy

Damaris, I love your March block! The way the patterns and color interact, I can almost see the rose vines swaying in the breeze! And is that breeze a beautiful spring breeze?

Margo, thanks for putting the blocks on your blog! Seeing them all side by side is so exciting!

I'll be bringing up the rear again, but hey! I have all of you to thank for ideas.

Margo, you are a wizard. I love the March blocks. I plan to do more embroidering on Jan and Feb...not a lot, but some. I think it turned out o.k. on March and I have had such good feedback from all of you. The blocks are really fabulous from everyone.

Wow! that really made your block pop. I love how you added the stitch onto the leaves too. You might want to do this to more of your leaves.

I'm looking forward to seeing your blocks Denise -- the pieced background sounds fun! What a great idea!
