top finished at least!

Picture doesn't show well, but the solid blocks are chenille.  I'm thinking this will end up being a birthday quilt for someone special (can't say here, she may read). I haven't decided on a backing yet but I'm leaning toward a cream color fleece without using a batting.  Here in AZ we don't really need to have a lot of extra layers!
I haven't been doing much sewing at all - actually I haven't been doing much at all.  I'm battling a severe case of hives.  My family doctor threw up her hands after giving me some pretty hefty steroid and sent me to a dermatologist who has put me on a prescription antihistamine (that doesn't seem to be working either).  I wake up feeling drowsy and spend most of the day in a fog and because of the itching my focus is, quite simply, crap!  I am able to knit, so I guess my time is not completely  wasted but right now I really should be working on my Christmas projects.  I have fabric and patterns stacked together - so I suppose it's a start.  My hubby has gone hunting, been gone 5 days now and normally this is my most productive time with no interruptions.....May have to hope for the best when he takes his next hunt the week after Thanksgiving......
Anyway....if you follow me on a regular basis, I will apologize for not being so active with my blog- just not much to write about.

Katie who's tired of itching.......

I like your quilt - it looks soft and cuddly. A fleece backing will be perfect! And there is no need to apologize. I'm so sorry you are so itchy and really hope that you get some sort of relief soon. Maybe you were just allergic to the chenille...but I'm sure you already thought of that. ;))
