Block 10 - Nearly Insane

A bit electric, yes? The colors and prints are close to the original quilt by Salinda Rupp.
I enjoyed finding a place in this quilt for the red print in the center, one of my favorite reproduction turkey red fabrics.  the green fabric in the frame is a VERY close reproduction of a green fabric that seems to have been manufactured for 70 years or more!  I bought it at least 5 years ago or more, so I am sorry, I can't tell you where to get it.

Nearly Insane Block # 46

This one turned out a little small and I added red strips to two sides to get it up to 6.5 inches, unfinished.  A bit electric!!!

Update on the weight-loss journey

This summer there have been some bumps in the road, indeed. I lost a bit but have gained some pounds back. I seem to have lost my motivation, and going to a conference 2 weeks ago with all the eating this involves does not help either.

As some of my regular readers may notice, I have changed my 'ticker' or bar on the top of my blog. I have changed my goal weight to a more manageable number. I don't think it's really likely at my age to get down to where I was in my mid-twenties.

To be more motivated, my doctor suggests I promise my self something big, like a trip, if I reach goal and stay there for 3 weeks. Where would you travel to? she asks.
Venice! I reply promptly.
So, I have a picture of Venice as wallpaper on my laptop, and I bought the Lonely Planet guide to Italy yesterday. I hope this motivates me more. I can start saving money now too.
