can't slow down - penguins will eat me

So, I may be biting off a bit more than I can chew.

I've linked to this site before, and the lovely quilt at the top there, made from the kaleidoscope block.

The kaleidoscope block is quite simple in reality; it's the fabric choices and the layout that makes it move. But it's a lot of seams and the layout can be a lot of work. I know what I'm trying to do, I'm just not so sure I'm capable of doing it.

Sometimes I think it's the story of my life.

( The Sanctuary Quilt )

I don't think I should be in at work today. My eyeballs feel fried and I can feel a little tickle in the back of my throat, prelude to a sore throat.
