Not in 'pain' as such at the surgical site.but I get tired sooooooo
quickly--mainly still getting rid of all the 'extra' meds for the surgery
itself--takes me an avg of 6 weeks...and LOTS of water to wash it thru
(normal 2 glasses increases to 6 for me--just the way my bod works ; )
Thanks for asking.

Can't wait to SEE this finished quilt ; )

Butterfly, I've been watching this thread with great interest. I enjoyed
trying on in my head everyone's suggestions. It's just fascinating how
many
super ways were suggested. But - the little shirts are so dear, I didn't
want anything to detract from them. The empty hangers, and one that hit
the
floor is a wonderful idea.
And it is it good to see you here. Feeling a bit better? Polly

Embroidered hanger in one block and the very BOTTOM block==

where DID that shirt go that WAS on the empty hanger?
In a HEAP at the bottom of the block--I would even have a little free
floating triangle of it hanging from the edge of the block. (no pattern
needed for this block)

Hope this makes sense....

If just the idea of this made someone grin--then this was worth it

Butterfly (and where DO most "dirty clothes go"....)

So, I really do want to finish this quilt and give it to him. It's
kind of my "going away" gift to him. I gave him up emotionally a
year
ago so it's not a painful thing to do.

I understand. I'd like to think I could do the same.

The blocks are charming. I'd want to sash them to avoid the white next
to the white. I'd also not want to lay them out as a diamond. I'd
offset
rows of three, and I'd make one block of white near the bottom and
embroider an empty hanger on it- to get the 15 even. Use the extra
hawaiian fabric to make the triangles to even out the rectangle. I'd
do
another band of sashing to finish the outside edge, piece Hawaiian
fabric in squares or similar for the border, and bind off with the
sashing fabric.

That's one of the neat things about quilting- everyone's got their own
ides and you can spend a lifetime just exploring one block.
