It would not be easy. And I know what you mean about not being able to think when you're too tired. That happens to me but, unlike you, I can take a nap. I hope you can get the little ones in bed earlier!<br /><br />The quilt with stars is a pattern I created. I just played around cutting paper stars until I had ones I liked the cut them out of fabric. They are about 8", appliqued to a 10 1/2" square (which finished at 10"). <br /><br />The other quilt, the red and tan one with blue sashing (is that the one you mean that I was working on after surgery?) is also a pattern I created so there isn't a written pattern available. It's a Sister's Choice variation. <br /><br />I hope things look up for you soon, Suze.

I am thrilled as I knew I would be as I adore that blog, too. I am curious if you have a pattern name that you would share for your stars with circles quilt. It looks like lots of fun. I like the quilt you are quilting that you had put aside for after surgery back in November. I thought I'd have something to work on after surgery earlier this month - think again. I have my 39 year old son and his 2 1/2 year old daughter living with me. One week after my surgery his 10 year old son came for the summer. I have them while he is at work. He leaves at 4:30 AM S, S, and M and get home about 7 PM. Then he works T and W from 4:30 PM until ?? I have no time to sit and stitch. We are trying to get the children to bed earlier so maybe I can do some hand work. I am so exhausted that I cannot think about machine stitching now.
