We got 4 inches of snow over the weekend. I know a lot of places got more, but it was enough for me. It's cold, but that's ok too, our car is broken down and we can't go any where any way. Ambrosina is giving us lifts to necessary places and when the weather warms up wheel bearings are a pretty easy fix.

This was a long day for me. I basted quilts. I really hate basting, so it didn't make sense to move the dining room around and put all the leaves in the table for just one quilt. I basted six.

 Drunkard's Path Polka Dots.

 Another Pineapple, this time with one inch wide strips finishing at a half inch. I like this better that with the wider strips.

 Drunkard's Path Love Ring variation.

 An applique quilt made from feed sacks, not of my making.

I am very tired, but I feel virtuous. I basted them today and now I won't have to bast for a couple of months. These were all the quilts in the tub I had down here and one from a tub up in the attic. It turns out that I had already made a back for one of them so, since I had enough pins I went ahead and basted it. There are 6 more quilt tops in the tub I brought down from the attic. One of them has a back I made for it before I put it up in the attic. The other 5 I will make backs for when I get the quilting done on the basted ones. Two of those tops are hand applique and I am not sure how I will quilt them. One of them is a top my Grandmother made, and it has to be over 40 years old. I can't remember about the other 2 offhand, but they will be a nice surprise to look forward to.

After a short break I will work on some more Pinwheel blocks. I know that I have made a lot of progress, but now it seems like I have a lot more to get done than I started with. Well I do I guess, I sorted through 2 more tubs of half-square triangle units. When I am done then I will not have to do any for a long time, there are some more sewn but they aren't cut out, I don't know when I will do that either, they can wait, I am not in any hurry because when I get them all turned into blocks I will have half a dozen quilts tops I will have to put together. And baste. Oh dear, I think I'll just bask in the moment with the ones I just finished basting, no use to look too far ahead.
