Quilt again!
We had a couple of extra days off of school last week. I guess since we have not used our snow days they gave them to us anyway, because our High school boys went to State wrestling tournament in Denver. Well Fri. I decided I would work on my blocks. I worked 2 three hour sessions on Fri. and again for about three hours Sat. then Mon. evening after FHE and everyone was snoring, 3 hours more. I finished another 34 blocks. That means I only have 28 left to do, whohoo!!
Water
This might seem rather long, but it is such good information that I wanted to share it. Our School nurse sends some good stuff home and I learned a lot from this.
Water
#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated (Likely applies to half the world population).
#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism by 3%.
#4. One glass of water will shut you down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
#5. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for 80% of sufferers.
#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page!
#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decrease the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%; and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?

Quilt block comparison.
I posted a picture of the quilt a few posts ago, and told my sister I like the color coordinated blocks better than the random ones. I finally got some pictures to show the difference.
See if you agree with me... this one is all browns on one side and greens on the other,
See if you agree with me... this one is all browns on one side and greens on the other,and this one is all reds. Compare those to these two that have no rhymn or reason to them. ( I still need to trim them!)
I really like the first two better, but I will use them all.
I'm up to 58 blocks.
