It's fungly
OK, what's the best cliche? "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth," "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade," "Ugly as sin." We could go on and on. However--since someone gave me these fabrics--thanks. A good quilter should never let loud fabric go to waste. I know, you might think I ought to sew these fabrics on the back of the quilt. But I didn't. I look at it this way--this quilt is sure going to be cheerful! And you could always throw an afghan over on top of it, if need be. It's not a bedspread after all--it's a lap size. And it cheered me up no end to sew this quilt top, as I've been a bit under the weather. I'm getting tired of doctors, no matter how kind and understanding they are. And that from a person who has another appointment with another doctor next week. What a complainer I am! As my mother used to say "Oy, I'm sick in bed with the doctor!" At least all these problems are improving, I plan to be a lot better tomorrow. And to get to pin basting that other quilt top--the one that came out to be prettier than this one.

Another proverb, which my mother used often, is "waste not, want not!"
I think it's childlike, fun and bright; but I'm not sure I can say "I like it"! And that's okay; someone will love it - even if others don't!
I love the bright colors. Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Doctors know so little when it comes right down to it.
So sorry to hear you are not up to par dear friend, hope that you're on the way to "better"! I think your new 'make do' quilt is bright and happy. That's enough to cheer someone up,I'm sure.Hugs, Finn
