I've been fighting off a head cold since Monday.  I got sick earlier this year and made it through without taking any sick days.  I staggered through each day and then came home to sleep until it was time to get up and go to work again.  I decided this time to nip it in the bud and took a sick day today to stay home and rest.  I feel 100% better now, so I think my plan worked.  I did take some time between naps to get a little more done on the double delight quilt. 

I got out the shapemaster and made quick work of the nine patches.  They were turning out so darn cute that I even cut extras to whip up a couple of baby doll quilts for the girls.   While the kids did their homework this afternoon, I FINALLY finished squaring up the square-in-a-square blocks.  Yikes did that take forever.  I got enough of those sewn together to lay out on the floor and appreciate.  It's 9:30 now and I'm ready to call it a night.

I'm quite happy with the way this quilt is turning out.  I'm glad, because some of the steps have been fairly time consuming.  I would hate to have put in all that work and not been happy with the outcome.

I figure taking a sick day and actually getting over things is a good plan! Why be typhoid mary to your friends and co-workers just to prove you can... :-)
It is coming out great. I am glad you are feeling better.
This really is a pretty one. I will have to do it someday too.
