I have just read your explanation of the multitude of medical problems you have been enduring all the while, trying to continue to participate in the maven's group!! I am astounded that you have even been able to make any of the reveal deadlines. I don't think I could have done any. I do hope the worst is behind you and that your progress and recovery will be easier and successful!! Bless you for your strength. BTW, your quilts have been great despite your limitations!!<br />Nedra Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12713288647355250747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-74217477947210471602014-03-27T11:32:03.073-04:002014-03-27T11:32:03.073-04:00THis is a fascinating quilt.

This is probably the definition of translational symmetry that I learned. I am so impressed at your being able to piece something so the composition ends up exactly 12 inches square - something I've yet to succeed in. I wish you continued and quick healing and an abundance of energy to follow<br />Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04236884861296764244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-47998669626870978932014-03-16T12:12:01.031-04:002014-03-16T12:12:01.031-04:00Dear friend, it is so delightful to see your creat...Dear friend, it is so delightful to see your creativity included this time.
