I finished the Little Birds last week during the time when I was computer-less, and I am finally getting around to showing it off. Somehow or another the full sized picture of it on the porch railing didn't get saved on the camera card, but, since I am keeping this one for myself it doesn't matter all that much.

Yes. I decided to keep this one for my bed. I love the pattern and I love the fabrics. My grandmother gave me a box of scraps shortly after I was married. I appliqued the blocks before Ambrosina was born in 1980 and the fabric scraps were already vintage then. Some are flower sacks. All were at least pre 1940's. Anyway it's done, my 23rd quilt of the year.

Today I made backs for 4 more quilts and Monday I baste. All of the quilts are pretty big so I am only going to plan on doing four. None are UFOs, I don't think I am going to get them all done this year, but quite honestly, I am running our of steam!

These are the sashings and cornerstones I have cut out for the Pinwheel Nine Patch blocks that I finished and ironed this week. I'll start getting that put together in a couple of days. I'm in no hurry, one tub of quilt tops to store is quite enough. I don't want to start filling up another one and it's getting hard to find pieces of fabric big enough to make backs with. Financially I will have to slow down if I don't sell one to buy materials with.

Friends of ours are battling cancer and I am going to take each of them a quilt, there is not much else I can do besides pray.

It's getting pretty late in the day, I sewed upstairs longer than usual. If I am to have some time to so hand work I had better get busy. Until later then.
