Yesterday I put together the signature blocks from the birthday "siggy" block swap I was in last year. Below are two photos of how that looks so far. I decided to put a polka dotted fabric (white dots on black background) as the sashing. You can't see it that well in the first photo but in the second, it's more evident...and if you click on the photo, you will see it even better. I have decided I would like that same fabric for the border so the blocks will appear to "float" in the dotted fabric. I really like the way it looks with this fabric as the sashing. I will go and buy more of the fabric (probably today) and then work on the borders over the weekend.....IF I get my medical typing done. (This is the time I wish I had a trained "substitute" for that typing as I'm really very uncomfortable at the keyboard right now.)

Oh hope your wrist & shoulder gets to feeling better!!
Love the black sashing on your quilt!!
I love how you put those blocks together. The sashing looks great! Take care of that wrist! We'll wait for you.
It does look nice with the polka dots.
I can totally relate to your problem. I have some excruciating pain, at times, in my right arm, shoulder and neck. It is due to a lot of repetitive stress and a previous neck injury. So the break for you should be well needed. We will be here when you return. Love your siggy quilt.
I love your siggie quilt. The blocks area lot bigger than I thought. Take care of your wrist. I've had surgery on the left, and will schedule the right later in the spring. We'll be here when you come back.
Pat I hope you feel better. I have seen sites that sell some kind of wrap for your hand?
I like how you put your blocks together
The sashing fabric is perfect for the borders! Looking great...
The sashing looks great - love the quilt. Rest is so important for carpal tunnel. Take care of yourself!
Oh Pat take care of yourself. We will miss you, but you've got to let yourself heal and not put more stress on your wrist. I am still in some pain with my foot that I sprained last summer, and it is still difficult to walk. Take care.
HUGS!
Hubby had his hands done in October and November. He felt immediate relief. His hands no longer fall asleep at night.
We'll be here... Take whatever rest you need.
You take all of the time you need. I can relate to the shoulder problem. My mom has the carpal tunnel. Rest. You are doing the right thing. Rest where you can come back strong. Praying for you.
I do hope you feel better soon! Take care of yourself, and rest that arm... Love the sig blocks, so many things look great with black polkadots!
I hope you feel better soon! Take care of yourself...

I hope that you feel better soon. I love the sashing fabric you've used. It really brings out the colors in the blocks. Gita
Really like your fabric choice Pat...makes it a fun siggie quilt which is what it is!!
Brace it up and rest...hope you feel better soon.
Aunt Dot had the surgery a few years ago and is so happy she did.
REST is your word for the weekend...mine too..;-)
Hugs,

Sorry to hear you are having problems with your wrist. Do rest it as much as possible. We will miss your daily blog, but look forward to your return.

Love the siggy quilt and the way you put it together. Hope your hand and arm get to feeling better soon. Will miss you but certainly understand.
Take care.
Take care of that wrist, Pat. You need it for more than blogging.
Uh-oh! We can wait here in blog land for you. Take it easy and rest ok?! A friend told a group I belong to that she just got a program where it will type what she says - I think it is called "Dragon" or something with Dragon in the name. Maybe you could check it out?
Take care sweet pea!

YOur block turned out awesome....take care of that wrist!!
Hope your wrist is feeling better soon. Hate to say it but unless you have an ergo cutter you may want to stay away from your rotary cutter also, it can affect carpal tunnel and your shoulder also. Take care.
Sorry to hear you're having problems with your wrist. Your signature swap quilt is coming along nicely. Be sure to rest your wrist.

The Siggie Quilt is really pretty - like the fabric you are using for the sashing...
Looking good Pat!
Hope your wrist/arm/shoulder are feeling better some soon... 8-)
The worst problem for a quilter/typist to have - hope it's better soon!!!
