Here they are so far--twelve granny square blocks. I calculate I'll need 120 blocks to make a queen-size quilt with a good drop on each side (85" x 102"). I would only need 80 blocks to make a 68" x 85" quilt. So depending on whether or not I get sick of making granny squares before I ready my 120 goal, this quilt might turn out to be the smaller size. So far, I'm having lots of fun making them.
I'm waiting for a call from my doctor's office. They are setting me up for an MRI on my knee. The pain has not subsided. In fact, it has got much worse. And now my leg, ankle and foot are swollen. I've checked with doctor and pharmacy to see whether or not the swelling could be caused by any of the meds I'm taking (Thanks, Barbara!), and neither thinks so. So it is apparently originating in the knee. And boy! Does it hurt! Even at night when I'm trying to sleep.
I got my Easter swap tags finished yesterday. And I know I promised photos, but then it crossed my mind that I want the members of the swap to see them first. So my pics yet.
I'm going to see how many granny squares I can make this morning before this darn knee sends me back to bed.
And remember, everyone. It's the Ides of March. So beware.

Boy, do I EVER sympathize with knee pain. Hope the tests show the problem so the doc can FIX it! And the quilt? Sigh! REALLY pretty!

Love your growing group of Granny Squares! Each one is a charming combination of cheerful fabrics and colors! Applause! Methinks when you've had your fill of making these blocks, borders can enlarge the quilt to the size you want it to be.
I looked up the name of the medicine your doctor started you on and it does have a sulfonamide in it's chemical makeup, but it is a variation that most folks who are allergic to sulfa can tolerate. Most means not all of them, of course. Bearing in mind that anyone can become allergic to new or old things at any time (called "acquired allergies") be aware that you may still have, if not an allergy, an unacceptable side effect to a new medicine. Hope you feel lots better without any swelling soon!
Be good to you!
Hugs!

Was introduce to Pinterest a few weeks ago. (Where have I been?) Found your blog. Love your notes, quilt ideas and book recommendations. Know we would be coffee friends if lived closer. Praying for you and results of MRI so your doc and God can heal that pain.
