Baby quilts and appendectomies


Sorry to have been away for so long.  It's been sorta slow in the quilting department of late.  I did get some quilting done today on a baby quilt for my niece, though!  I downloaded the pattern from .... well somewhere ... I'll attempt to find it and give proper recognition.  It's a great pattern.  On point squares of white and color with the nine patches forming a sort of border.  Very versatile!

In the process of trimming the excess batting and backing from around the quilt (my favorite part of quilting!  - it finally LOOKS like a quilt) I managed to perform a partial appendectomy on myself with the rotary cutter.  Somehow I grazed my (slightly protuberant) tummy with the rotary cutter and inflict a small 1" gash through my shirt (also gashed).  Not deep, but there was some blood loss involved.  I may have cussed.   I'll spare everyone the pics of my injury.

Your welcome.

Now I need to find some appropriate binding.  Intown Quilters might be getting some biz tomorrow!  (if I'm feeling up to it after my surgery today)
