I did manage to finish one small thing this weekend...I quilted and bound Bloom #2. I wanted the quilting to look like wallpaper in the background. It's not bad. Beyond that I've been so sick...I'll spare you the gross details. I'm heading back under the covers. Maybe a good sleep and some tea will do the trick.
Thank you for all your kind comments on my redwork quilt. I haven't chosen a name yet, it's too hard to concentrate feeling like this. I'll be back with the winner when I feel better.
One thing that can't wait is the the list of blocks that have arrived this week for Project Improv. Here they are:

Hope you feel better soon. Your flowers are so pretty, fun and inventive. Love this little quilt.
Hi Jacquie
I found your blog while surfing. I am a quilter too and love to do improv quilting. I was lucky enough to take a workshop with Freddy Moran and Gwen Marsten last year at Asilomar in CA. It was such an inspiration to spend a week with them! They are the queens of improvisation! I working on animprov quilt at the moment, but I also love traditional hand applique.
Your redwork quilt is wonderful.
I'm glad to have found you!
Rhondi
This is absolutely darling. It is so perfect I can't stop looking at it.
Bloom #2 is gorgeous! Hope you're feeling better soon.
Jacquie,
Bloom 2 is simply beautiful! I love it!! Thanks for the sweet comment about the new house! We are hoping to have a big ol' BBQ this summer! :)
:) Nicole
Jacquie - you blow me away with your design and imagination - I adore it.
Wonderful Flowers!
