It's complete and all the blocks are rotated the right way. I've decided to put a border on it to make it big enough for a queen size bed. I am going to use the same fabrics and do a piano key border. I think it will look pretty good and make it enough different from the first one to make it interesting. I don't know how long it will take to do the border but I started cutting the pieces before lunch and I will work on it tomorrow morning. So it looks like I will not be starting on UFOs until next week. If they have waited this long, they can wait a while longer.

Still plugging away on my Pinwheels. I wonder if they will be like Bartholomew Huggins Hats, never ending. I know there are way more than 500 of them.

When David was measuring my quilts prior to me listing it online I found a gash in it, about 3 inches long down through all the layers and binding, so it had to happen after it was finished. When I told Ambrosina about it she made a face and said it was probably Sammy, he is fascinated with rotary cutters. It sounds like a five year old. I darned it, but I can't sell it. Someone will be glad to have it. There is no use getting upset, and even if I talk to him about it he won't remember it, small children having the selective memories that they do. It's the price we must pay to have children and grandchildren and I don't think it is too large a price to pay.

I heard a crash out in the sitting room, I had better go see what the cat has done to my piles of quilt blocks and other projects out there.
