I have enough shirting left to add length. I'll probably add 6 x 15 inch pieces of each shirt to top and bottom to finish up a rectangular top.
The star section is made from a tiny grey and black plaid that I found in our local fabric store. That and Walmart were my only local choices. I felt that I had settled, but it turned out to be just the right choice to go with all the different colors of plaid shirts.
In other news, after being 'retired' for 3 weeks, rather than feeling rested up and energized, I have practically no energy or incentive to do much of anything. I don't know what's going on, and it makes me feel worthless,; so I'm happy to atleast be making progress on my year-long desire to make this memorial quilt for my daughter. Hopefully, it will be done by Father's Day, or atleast sometime this summer.
All you have been through its normal to be feeling the way you are. You will feel like your old self soon Im sure of it and your energy and zest for life will return.
