WOW! I wish I had known about Vitamin B Complex for the last five years. Seriously, I know it's too soon to credit the vitamins, but I do feel a lot better today. In fact, I've got a bunch done. Several loads of laundry and some work in the sewing room. I'm working on the Pinwheel Quilt. Here's the first block.
Triangles aren't my favorite shape to work with. I hate the bias edges, and it's often hard to get the points to come together correctly. Nicole told me that Lisa told her if you press the seams open, it's easier to match the points. So I'm pressing all the straight-of-grain seams open. See.
I was hesitant to press the bias seams open. I was afraid that would cause them to stretch. (Bias stretches so easily.) But as you can see, my points come together in the center of the block.

I hope that's a sign of what's to come with the steady use of the B Complex. I think of it as my miracle vitamin! Hope it continues to make for better and better days.

Love pinwheels, but hate triangles. I'll have to try this. I think I'll get some B complex next time I'm out...I'll try anything once!

Thanks for the open seam tip. Looks like it worked very well. Glad you are feeling a little better. I sure dislike seeing a good woman down with the pain.

So glad to read you're feeling better! That block is so cute, and the back looks so neat. It always impresses me when I see that, I don't do anything neatly. : )

I can't take the credit for the open seam tip. It is Lisa who told me that it works for her. Her points come together perfectly every time.
Glad you are feeling better. I once got a Vitamin B injection and could not believe how energetic I felt in just hours! I should take more vitamins.

I'm so, so glad you feel better.
There you are being so smart, and I'm wondering if I am capable of making a yo-yo. ;-0

I took a vitamin B complex pill for years before I retired to help me deal with the stress on the job. I always felt it made me feel better, more alert, and gave me a bit more energy. Even if it's all in our minds, who cares as long as it works.

I'm glad you're feeling better.
And I'm feeling better knowing that I'm not the only one in the world that has a hard time getting my triangle points to come together. I'm glad it's not just me.
About the quilt square. So pretty. And cute.
And Cupcakes! What could be better than a quilt with cupcakes on it?

That cupcake fabric is beautiful, and good tip from Lisa, I'll give it a try because I don't like the seems open....but if it works I can allways change my mind;-)

This looks really good. Good enough to eat those cupcakes!
Thanks for the compliments on my collage sale. That was a shock to me. I was so excited.
Thanks again my friend. Hope the vitimin B helps and that the full moon doesn't affect you this time or anytime!
Hugs
Patti

B6 is the main B vitamin that helps ward off pain. At one time I was taking it but it didn't help me much. I know that it has helped alot of folks, though.
