After meticulously handstitching doilies on to three blocks, I decided that was a crazy idea, and had a go at sewing the next couple of blocks by machine. Much faster, and looks quite neat, so that is what I will be doing for the rest of them.
Funny to think I am doing this quilt in memory of a friend who died of cancer, and now I have just been diagnosed with cancer myself :-( However, it is in the bladder, not an aggressive cancer, and I had the tumours removed last week without any problem. My doctor assures me that it is quite a common cancer, and most people survive for many years once it has been treated. Maybe I'd better make another doiley quilt when I've finished this one, just in case!
