Farmers Market top done & foot problem

Well I finally finished the top today and the change in green worked great. I thought the broccoli would have been to much so after getting help from my husband we found the right green. Funny thing is it matches the green in the outer border. It really needed something and I was even thinking of a thin black border. Now I need to find a backing that goes with it to finish it up. This was a really quick top..lots of straight stitching. Cut & sewed the blocks one weekend. Stitched blocks into a top the next and then the borders this morning. Not bad. It' 68 x 58 so it will take me a bit to have a table big enough to pin.
Saw the doctor and he couldn't find anything wrong. What we are doing is a stronger inflammatory and a trip to a nerve specialist. I refused to get cortisone shots. To me it's a quick fix only...besides I don't like needles..

Another step closer to completion...

Well after spending last weekend sewing, I woke up Monday morning and my right foot was just miserable. It was so puffy that I couldn't get my shoes on. I ended up wearing my slippers to work for three days before I was able to get my tennis shoes on. They are a little looser fit. Would you believe sewing caused my foot to swell. I did sew a lot of little squares together, then into blocks.

Saturday I finally felt comfortable enough to work on the quilt layout. put all the rows up while Ben was at his run so when he came home I got him to help switch them around do not all one fruit or veggie was  in one section. Took us a while but this is what we decided on.

Surprisingly it didn't take me that long to sew all the rows together. It turned out pretty good. Now all it needs it the two borders. One is of broccoli and the outside one is seed packets.. Still trying to decide what to put on the back to finish it up.

Sometimes it pays to put off what you can do another day....or a couple years.
