Please see your doctor if pain from quilt persists


I quite enjoyed spending this weekend quietly inside, pottering away and cutting out my new quilt, but wheeeeee! All those various computations of black and white can sure give a girl a bad case of vertigo. Combine the dizzy feeling that came about from looking at the patterns too much with the ickyness of spending a couple of hours bending down from the floor then back up to the table, floor to table, arranging, rearranging etc and guess, just guess what you end up with? A headache. A quilt induced headache, nonetheless. Whodathunkit? They should come with nifty little signs: Beware of the quilt. This quilt may be a health hazard!
Still, it's going to look at treat when I sew it up (I hope). And with all that crazy patterning going on, I won't have a hope in hell of discovering if Grumbles has been jumping on the bed via the tell tale footprints. Who could find them amongst all that vividness?

    love the black and white, but can see what you mean about making you giddy - not a bad solution for ignoring dog hair - mmm must look into that more.

    This will be a great quilt. Once you get the pattern set, I'll bet your headache will go away.

    Oh I'm thinking of doing a black and white quilt. Maybe I'll have to use solids in between to avoid the headache myself!
