I'm happy to say I finished the watermelon blocks. However, I pieced them instead of appliqueing them. I've been having eye problems and took the easy way. This will make my quilt unique to me.
The first block I cut the red block too small...even though I had written out the correct directions...lol
And here is the moon and watermelon.
In case you missed it. I finally finished the basket block for this quilt.
It turned out better than I hoped. I just wished I had chosen a different green.
I went for my second mammogram session in 2 weeks. This time they concentrated on the right breast. They took 8 films and I also had an ultrasound. I am happy to say that they said there was nothing to be concerned about. WHEW!!!! They couldn't find my old films to compare so that is why I had to go for the second mammogram.
Friday I went for my eye lid surgery. I don't want to go through that again. My right eye is fine, I just had a small growth removed. The left eye still has swelling and some bruising. I had 2 growths removed. Hopefully I'm done.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm going to link up with Lori @ Humble Quilts. Hope to see you there.
Hugs, Cathy

Your 'Front Porch' is looking great and I LOVE your watermelons!
ReplyDeleteCute blocks! So happy you got good news. Hope your eyes heal quickly.
ReplyDeleteTake care!
Well, the piecing came out great! I like the different looks everyone has come up with. Yours are very clever!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great when our quilts become unique to their makers - good solution with your watermelons. Hope your eye heals quickly and good news on the mammogram.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to piece those melons! I am planning to piece the boat when we get to that block. So glad the mammogram news is good. I had my annual exam last month and it was done with 3D. I was expecting something like a sci-fi movie, but it seemed exactly the same. Hope your eye surgery heals with no issues!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to read your good news. I like your pieced watermelons. They look harder than appliquéing.
ReplyDeleteCreative of you to think of piece the watermelon blocks instead of applique. And it gets the same effect.
ReplyDeleteOuch to the eyelid surgery!
The pieced watermelons are great! It sounds like you have had more than your share of medical appointments. Time for a break now!
ReplyDeleteI think the watermelon is very cute the way you made it. It is always a good thing to have your creation be a little different from the others, in my opinion!
ReplyDeleteGood news from the mammograms! Thanks for letting us know. And I hope the eye heals and all can be well there.
Alrighty, Cathy, Enough doctors! LOL Glad to hear you are on the mend. What a fun way to make the watermelon blocks!! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThose watermelons are amazing, love them and your basket block! I'm glad your surgery is done, and really glad nothing was found on the mammogram. Hope your left eye is back to normal soon!
