I was pretty sore the first part of this week. I went out and did an errand Tuesday morning, and was really sore when I got home. I was so sore on Wednesday that I never got dressed, and spent the day mostly sacked out on the couch. My ribs were incredibly sore and it really hurt to yawn and sneeze.
Thursday I got up still sore and decided to take a soak in my big tub. That made a heck of a difference, and I think it was a big turning point, as I began to feel almost normal after that.
I put the blocks up on the design wall pretty randomly.
The blocks that are tilted at an angle are going to go. They stick out too much and they don't "read" as purple or I just don't like them. This is quilt is the kind of quilt that pretty much can succeed no matter where I put the blocks.
.
When I put the light fabric above next to blues, it looks purplish, but when it is next to the other purples, it looks too blue, not purple, so it's going.
I just don't like the way this block looks in the quilt. It doesn't really feel purple, so it is going too. I have placed an order for some light purple/lavender fabrics. So I will be waiting for those to come in before I go farther with this.
I have something else I'm working on, and I'll show you that later.

Pink or purple, go with what you really like. Rest lots, I have found a hot pelting shower has helped sore ribs greatly.
Woo hoo, pink glasses! I love them :-). Good to hear you are feeling more comfortable after your soak in the tub. I find purples incredibly hard to mix and match. I made an all purple churn dash quilt for a gift and was not altogether happy with it but the purple loving recipient seems to love it.
You know a lot more about color than I do, but those look like "rose-colored glasses" to me!
Fabulous glasses! Love the bit of black and white sass on the temples.
Love the glasses!!!! I'm coming up shortly for a repeat est and determined to have a pair of jazzier frames than the current ones - good for you. Hope the soreness eases even more during the week.
Your purple blocks are gorgeous together. Love funky glasses too! I had to go back and read what happened and am happy you are doing fine cause that was not an inconsequential fall. I find a heating pad good for aches and soreness. Hope you are completely discomfort free soon.
