This block practically made itself. I had been moving pieces of fabric around and these 3 just happened to be together. I liked the effect and so …
The back:
A few people have asked how many blocks I’m making. While I don’t usually follow patterns completely, I am in the case of the Patchwork of the Crosses. I love the setting and everything about the quilt so will be making 56 of these blocks. As well as the blocks themselves, there will be the surrounding neutral hexagons and then 1″ squares.
Thursday was a rainy day with thunderstorms. With the stormy weather came a migraine which was particularly nasty. Visual disturbances are something I only get with really bad migraines and yesterday I had them. Thursday evening the fog rolled in and, as the fog rolled in, the migraine left. I love looking out on a foggy night and seeing the lights from the office towers across the roof garden so blurred by the fog.
As it was a rainy day, Lester spent most of it curled up underneath a chair, where it was next to impossible to get a good shot of him, so here’s yet another picture from Monday’s bird watching:
Smudge decided to have a snooze with a teddy bear and a monkey. The teddy bear is one I bought in the hospital gift shop when Mr. Quilt Obsession was hospitalized after his heart attack 5 years ago. That little white teddy bear was with him the entire time he was in hospital and came home with him.

Glad you’re feeling better — migraines are so miserable! Great shot of Lester at the window.

Love this block too! I tend to get bad headaches when it is rainy. I woke up with one yesterday and couldn’t get rid of it all day. I am glad you are feeling better and hope the migraine stays away!

Oh, I really like the look of this one…using the same fabric in the middle, really changes the effect. Do the cats go get the toys to sleep with or are they usually on the chairs/couch? We had a cat that would go get Sam’s stuffed toys to sleep with.Crispy

Hi Cathi. Glad you’re getting over your migraine … aren’t they horrible. I see you have been very busy with your Patchwork of the Crosses blocks. It doesn’t seem to take you long to stitch them and they look very effective. Will pop back again soon. Hugs to Lester and Smudge.Christine
