Night before last I missed my step on the stairs in the middle of the night, landed on my bum and bounced down about 5 stairs to the landing. Oww oww oww. Yesterday I was hurting so bad in the afternoon that I slept, all afternoon, then I went to bed early. I don't like days where I don't get much done, but some days it's impossible to keep going.
This is the plan I have for some of the small Pinwheels. The colors won't be the same, those were just scraps I had handy that I could make the block out of to see what size they were going to turn out. I have specific plans for putting them together too, I am kind of excited about this quilt. The blocks will finish at 15 inches so I won't need a lot of them. I have a lot of the little pinwheels though, so maybe two of them, I don't know. I am going to use sashing and cornerstones to set them together, using more pinwheels for the cornerstones, that will use up more of them. Maybe pinwheels for the border too, I haven't got that far. I was thinking of piecing some sort of block for the large corners, but I think I like the simplicity of the solid corner. It will give me a chance to do some fancy quilting, which I love.
I am better today, I couldn't treadle on Ernestine yesterday, but I am going to try this afternoon. David is working on log cabin blocks and enjoying himself, he just told me his plan for the next one. I told him he couldn't start another one until the ones he is working on are quilted. I am not going to quilt them for him.
I went up into the attic this morning, there was something I needed up there, so I brought another tub of unquilted tops down, since I was up there. I didn't count or sort I just brought them down. Sorting and counting can come later. I will resist the temptation until I get the tub that I just made backs for quilted. It's nice to have something to look forward to.
Monday the temperature was 70 and we didn't wear coats. We are expecting snow this weekend. This is pretty typical for March here in Sioux Falls, but I am so looking forward to spring, and it is close. I like the hot weather of summer and fall too. I like warm. Winter has it's own beauty I know, but I don't enjoy it much. Ambrosina is planning her garden. Yes we did, we made it through another winter.
