I am going spare over this quilt I'm making for my sister-in-law.  My own fault, of course.  I resized the Mexican Star blocks so I'd only have to make twelve for the center.  Now I am trying to construct a pieced border to fit.  And I've suddenly developed "fear of cutting".  It's not like I'm going to run short of fabric, but I made a lot of errors while cutting the triangles to fit between the blocks on point.  The thought of having to recut stuff because it is 1/2 inch too short or narrow is creating lots of self-doubt.  I keep setting it aside and looking for other things to do--like clean off the top of the filing cabinet.  Time to bite the bullet.

I just finished the quilt for Charlotte Anne.  It's "green"--the batting is bamboo and cotton, and sturdy:  I used 1/2" seams.   I think she'll have fun crawling around on it.  I told Kris that I would get Nancy to mail it for me later this week.

You asked for it, here it is.  Hmm, looks like I need to straighten my glasses--and an eyelid lift.  And I didn't do anything with the hair today.  Some mousse would be a good thing.  Telling myself I'm not nervous about Tuesday.
