A mostly pink block is now done. I wondered about the purple surrounding this one, but it works. I think purple is definitely my neutral for these blocks.
The back:
Mr. Q.O. saw his doctor Wednesday afternoon who, after listening to the symptoms, said we have classic H1N1 symptoms. After thinking that we were over the worst of it, Wednesday was a bit of a setback. The flu headache came back and the fatigue and weakness are definitely still evident. But, compared to many, we have had a very mild dose of it.
One thing’s for sure, I am very glad I had printed so many pieces for the various tops I’m working on. There is no way I could even think about precision cutting right now. But I can grab a spool of thread, a couple of needles and one of those little envelopes with the pieces for a block, and curl up on the couch and piece.
Smudge:

I think you are right, purple is the best neutral that you could have chosen.Get well soon. They say it has to run its course and it sounds like you might be in the final stretch.

Knocking on wood here! I've dodged the bullet on being ill a few times from my guys already. Son #2 had to be taken to Urgent Care yesterday and we learned he has pneuomonia.Wishing you both well soon! Oh and seeing Lester curled up (scrunged up) in his bed is a real treat as we know how much he loves that windowsill.

I thought it was H1N1 when you wrote about the consistent headache–that seems to be the earmark of this particular flu. Sorry it relapsed–hope you get over it soon!
