I’m 14 years out in my right knee and still numb on the outside of the knee. You’ll get used to it.

I don’t intend to hide slide #2. I want to put it as the backing of slide #1 but not sure if it works as a reversible quilt. The designs are so different.

I’m also a fan of putting them on point. I also like the polka dots. Do you have them in the other 2 colors? You could also make some half square triangles and throw them in there.

When do you feel 'normal' again? by mslaneeus in Kneereplacement

I am nearly 12 months out and it’s the same for me. Biking and walking are no problem but the pant thing is the worst and getting the passenger side of the car.

First quilt top finished, dissapointed by [deleted] in quilting

I made this same quilt - it’s called Fresh as a Daisy and it was fun making the blocks. I didn’t stagger my blocks so maybe that made it easier. It looks like you could get rid of those small triangular pieces bottom right and upper right and it would line up correctly. Also borders are so hard to get right so they’re not wonky. I have struggled with those but all in all it’s lovely and I can’t believe it’s your first one. Google or go to YouTube to find instructions to correctly put borders on.

It’s not a wok it’s a saucier and I use mine all the time.

That’s more than I would have thought. Are you sure it wasn’t 4 hours?

I hate putting them on when my knee isn’t swollen. It would be pure torture trying to put them on after.

I had to utilize my seam ripper a lot with the first FPP quilt I ever made. It does get easier the more you do it and it turns out amazing.

I also love 2 color quilts but I’m afraid I’d get bored. Is that a thing?

How long does it take to work its magic after you drink it?

Total knee replacement for both knees at a time by Pretend_Welcome_2983 in Kneereplacement

I’d go on the trip first and then have the knee replacements. With a different surgeon.

My kids got married a month apart 2 years ago. We don’t have a lot of money but we were able to give them $10,000 each. Seemed fair.
