First Finish Of 2021
It was finished last night- yay! This quilt was started in September after I broke my wrist. About half of the blocks were made when I had the cast on. Very awkward, to say the least. My hand and wrist were still very weak when I pin basted it and the free motion quilting was a struggle at first. I slowly persevered and my hand became gradually stronger. It still isn't 100%, I'm still working on strengthening exercises. Injuries take longer to recover from when a person is older- groan. This quilt is going to be given to a neighbour in the Yukon, where our summer cabin is located.
When I was making the blocks, I didn't have enough of the dark grey fabric, so I added a different grey in the centre five rows. Sometimes I need to use what is in the stash instead of rushing out to buy more fabric. :)

Fun and like the changing grey. Amazing how long it takes for something to really heal.
Yes, it only takes a split second to fall down and get hurt, but it takes months to recover
