Good Morning Quilters!
Today I am having cataract surgery on my right eye. Please pray that it goes well, and that my eyes will be well again soon so I can continue quilting. The surgeon said I should be able to see colors more clearly after surgery, so that should be a good quilting thing! If all goes well, the left eye will be done two weeks from now.
Progress has been made on my two UFOs up on the design wall. I made the remaining four blocks for the log cabin doll quilt. Next, it will be sewn together into a top. The blocks finish at 3 and 3/4 inches square with the little “logs” finishing at 3/8 inch each. The doll quilt should measure 22.5 inches square before I bind it. It was fun to make.
The large log cabin blocks (over 100 of them) will go up on the design wall soon. The larger log cabin blocks will finish at 7.5 inches square.
The Jane Stickle indigo and shirting quilt squares are coming along nicely. It is true that seeing it on the design wall makes me want to finish squares to fill the holes. I next need to make five more blocks so that the row A through F are complete. Each little 4.5 inches square block is a challenge to make and I enjoy filling up the holes in each row. When the next five blocks are made, I will take this half down and put the rows G through M up on the design wall. Here is a picture of what the design wall looks like today:

Love the dear jane blocks....prayers for successful outcome...
Hope your surgery and recovery go smoothly so you can get back to both your projects. Your Dear Jane blocks are coming along beautifully!
You made nice progress on those little blocks this week! Wishing you wonderful results from the surgery.
Wishing you well with the surgery.
The Dear Jane quilt is coming along nicely!

Wow! That will be a wonderful quilt when done!
It should go excellently. Make a point of looking at some bright color fabric -- say yellow or turquoise. Look at it with the uncorrected eye, then the corrected eye. You will be amazed at the difference. And, you can probably start quilting fairly fast after your surgery on the first eye...just be careful if you use your rotary cutter! (Ask me how I know! -- Cut but not terrible.)
I love seeing your little indigo blocks building up on your wall. They look great! Can't wait to see the whole quilt.
I hope your cataract surgery is as successful as mine. I was shocked at how much brighter colors became. Amazing improvement. The log cabin project is really coming along beautifully, as is Dear Jane. You have skills!!
I've been wanting to do log cabins again
Hope that all went well with your surgery. You are sure making good progress on your Jane Stickle quilt, the blocks look great on your wall.
prayers for fast healing and seeing all the colors again
