these blocks  would give me the heebeejeebees!!! and I might break out in hives!!...but looking at it logically...I can see how to create a 'brain marker' for accomplishing this...color of triangle must be the same along the top of the block...as long as that is met...this block would work..

So the best way not to mix up the colors is to take colored pencil and just put an X in each shape of your paper what color you need there. No colored pencil then just write the name of the color in that spot like yellow, purple........etc. Yes I can see that you definitely could mix that up very easily.

Do we need to make neck coolers?

We can ya know!

I just sent my Las Vegas son more masks, he got a new job (he is out of the Air Force) so he has to wear a mask while at work.

Maybe she would like this better - not for everyday but FOR WORK.  I know it looks like a little old lady bra, but she might be much more comfortable at work.  I think I am going to order one and try it, and see if it really feels any different.  I am having trouble finding a front-closing bra that is not a stiff athletic bra, and is comfortable enough for every day, and doesn't hurt my arms, elbows and shoulders getting it on and off - and fits well.

how are the Covid counts where you are?

We have over 20,000 cases and still rising.  They say we will peak in August.

The cooling neck wraps are quick and easy.  I got the  beads from Amazon for like $7.

No, I got this one......they are just strips of 4.5" x WOF.  Section it off as you fill with the beads.

They only get one each so it isn't like the masks.  A marketer found cooler neck towels (?) for like $1.50 at Walmart and then they found some of those cheapy battery fans that you can wear around your neck.  They are putting them under their gowns LOL

It might not work, but at least we are trying!

The Neck Coolers. 

First what is the name of the little crystals that go inside?  I never remember.

I still have one I bought a billion years ago for my daughter when she played softball.  It would get pretty hot out on those fields and she was a catcher.  Only took the gear off to bat.

Also a bunch of us made a boatload of them to put in care packages for military heading to the Middle East.  They loved them out in that hot nasty desert.

I bought a package of MiracleGro Water Storing Chrystals.....

small package but it has lasted forever since you only use a teaspoon in each half of the neck cooler tie...

I just took it slow, looked at the design wall a lot.  I wouldn't want to make an entire quilt out of them but the handful in this was manageable.  I didn't make a color chart but just used the desiign wall.  

Excellent Idea. I'll check them out.  That has to be cheaper than what we used. Ours only took about a small teaspoon of the crystals, and soaked up the water and dried really fast.
