At about the same time that I decided I needed something to work on from the couch when I didn’t feel like climbing the stairs to the sewing room, I saw a photo on Pinterest of a Millefiori quilt. That’s it! That’s what I wanted for hand work. So I ordered a book and some templates and got to work. That was about a week ago, and the photo above shows how far I’ve progressed.
The kit I ordered included both the acrylic templates for the Passacaglia quilt (the one I’m making, sort of) and also precut paper pieces to use for the English paper piecing technique, which I’m using to make my quilt.

I had my second radiological ablation treatment for my back pain problem yesterday. All went well. I told the doctor I had been having some pretty good soreness and pain since the last one. He told me that sometimes it takes several weeks for that to go away, but afterwards, I should have up to a year of pain freedom--at least that particular pain. So I’m taking it easy for a couple of days, as I was instructed, and looking forward to better days ahead.
This is the photo I saw on Pinterest that tweaked my interest in the Passacaglia quilt.

WOW! What an incredible and intricate quilt you've been brave enough to embark on making blocks (are they called 'blocks'?) for. How large to you plan to make your quilt?
I certainly hope and pray your doctor is right in expecting you to be pain-free soon and that the pain relief could last a whole year. What a miracle that would be for you and for others needing this help. Prayers continue! I'd been hoping you'd do a post today to let me know how the procedure went yesterday.
Big hugs!
