What a lovely May 1st. The good thing it's melting fast. The wind was chill but we are hoping it will warm up. I only hope all the budding flowers didn't get frostbitten.

 We did get a picture of this though, Polka Dots. It is a scrap quilt although it may not look like it. It was made from the leftover ends of the strips Ambrosina cuts for Rose. I'm getting a little tired of solids, and the next quilts I make when I am done with the ones I am working on are going to be patterned. I have a long way to go though and I am resisting the impulse to start something more interesting.

 This is the back. I am almost out of orphan blocks so there won't be many more pieced with those.

Stanley Fat Squirrel could not understand why we were messing around with quilts when he wanted to be fed. He will almost take food out of our hands; David fed him.

I started quilting this quilt this morning. It is going to take a while. It is very big and is the last top I made using corduroy and denim which makes it very heavy. I have three other corduroy/denim tops waiting to be quilted, and I will do those first I think and get them out of the way. Don't get me wrong they make a nice quilt, but I get a lot of thread breakage with them and they tire me out. This is the last basted quilt and I think I will take some time and finish a couple of tops that are unfinished in the upstairs sewing area, then I can baste them and they won't turn into UFOs. Meanwhile I will keep plugging away at the Pinwheels down here.

And speaking of Pinwheels, it's now time to go out and get busy on Ernestine, happily the pile is going down pretty fast now.
