I'm wondering if a lot of the quilts I have finished lately are starting to look a lot alike. I just finished this Pinwheel quilt and I am thinking I want to do something different. This is number 24 for the year.
And this is it's back. I wish I had had enough of the big piece of backing fabric for the whole thing, I love that fabric. That is the last of the that plaid too, I'm happy to say. I did this one in only 3 days, but it's not a very big one.
Starring Pinwheels is next, it will take considerably longer. It's 110" x 110". Huge, in fact. I think I am going to use different colors of thread in it too. I'm still mulling over the design in my head, but I think feathers in the sashing, maybe in the corners of the blocks also, although I am not sure. I don't have to decided right away, it's going to take a day or so to do the stitch in the ditch around the blocks I am planning with my walking foot to stabilize the blocks. They are so big I don't want them creeping around on me while I do the free motion work. If I still haven't decided I can do the feathers in the sashes first.

Anyway, it's been a good week with a lot accomplished. I'm still not threading heddles, I had to buy some. Tying a few heddles on isn't difficult, but I needed another 50 or so and that would have taken forever; they should be here early next week.

Meanwhile...do I really want to start another quilt, or not. Isn't variety the spice of life? Well, I don't really like my food too spicy. And I am still working on turtles down here. I need to talk myself out of this mood or I'll have another UFO floating around, and that I do not need!
