The Pizza Box Challenge

Tuesday morning I stopped at the pharmacy and got my flu shot and my Covid booster. Other than a sore arm I've not had any bad symptoms from those shots - until this time.  By supper time I was running a low grade fever.  All night I tossed and turned, and my whole body ached.  About 8:00 Wednesday morning the fever broke but I still felt like I had been run over by a big truck.  There were multiple naps yesterday, and today I'm mostly back to normal. 

Good thing I had gotten a little sewing in that morning - and that I had scheduled yesterday's post before I hit that wall.  LOL


The Pizza Box block (#8) for this month was shared by Amy, and it's really a FUN block called Woven Star from Patchwork Square.  I've used that web site before, and they have a lot of great block patterns - free PDFs and in multiple sizes.  My RWB versions were done first.  The block on the right actually has an identical twin because I accidently cut too many pieces.  Oops!  So I have 3 of them for sharing with QOV.


The 30s version that I'll keep for my personal project . . . so bright and cheerful.  I think that's the reason I love 30s reproduction fabrics so much.

I just went to Patchwork Square to check it out, wow lots of inspiration in the block department! Your blocks are so pretty, while I love patriotic this time I adore the 30's one best.

Those are really neat stars, Sara! I had a reaction to my flu shot this year, too - maybe the formula is different? Fortunately it didn't last too long. Covid is up next - I'm ready to get those done!

Excellent job on these blocks! Sorry the shots put you down a bit--rest up!

Such pretty blocks. You were brave getting both shots at once! I will get the flu shot next week, the Covid booster just gave me a sore arm.

Very pretty blocks. A nice block to use up lots of scraps.
