Donation block

This is a block for a comfort quilt. They wanted 8" blocks (any pattern) in cheery colors. I have always really liked this red floral, so that's what I used.

I made that last week, actually, but I just didn't get around to posting the picture. I hurt my back again this week so I haven't been terribly productive. I did get another one of those red-&-blue Ohio Stars done, though.

(I keep saying it's my lower back that hurts, but it seems to actually be the top of my hips that's the real problem. And my doctor seems to think it's the beginnings of arthritis, which I really don't want to hear. Yuck. I'm too young to have arthritis, dammit!)

Ann Fahl was the speaker at my guild a while back, and I didn't think I'd ever heard of her. I really liked her quilts, though, and a lot of them looked awfully familiar, and when I looked in my pictures later I found that I had taken pictures of several of her quilts at festival over the years. (Like the water lily below.)

(I love that rose quilt in general, but I also want that border fabric. Bad. Anybody know where I can get it?)

Here is one formerly-top-secret project: the wallhanging I made for Karen for a hostess gift. The thing we worked on this weekend is still top secret, though, and will be for at least a few more weeks. I will probably be putting some pictures up on Flickr, though, so if you have a Flickr account and you want me to friend you so you can see them, just let me know your username.

(These are four of the Jan Mullen blocks I had stashed away. I still have lots more of them that I am going to have to do something with eventually.)
