It was quilt basting day today.

 Pinwheels Large and Small, second of the Pinwheel series to be quilted, first in line

 Starring Pinwheels, the third in the Pinwheel series, second in line.

 Hexagon Star, second in the hexagon series, third in line.

And two (yes two) of these Tumbler runners. I am making them for padded headboards for my bed. Two, so I can alternate them to wash them. Since I am so allergic to dust mites all my textiles have to be washed frequently; I'll have one up while the other is in the laundry.

While it was a long day pin basting these I feel very well satisfied with what I got done. True, none of them are UFOs, they won't turn into UFOs either which is always pleasing.

I finished this Pinwheel Nine Patch, another in the Pinwheel series, Saturday night. Last night I started putting together the rest of the blocks, with sashing. It will probably take me another week to get those put together, then after that I think I will give the rest of the Pinwheel blocks a rest while I do something else. I haven't decided what, that will come to me as I work.

Last week I forgot to post the back of the Little Birds quilt. There are a couple of leftover blocks and I used those. It's getting hard to find big enough scraps to make backs with, if I have to start buying pieces big enough to make backs I won't be able to afford to do as many quilts, although sheets are a pretty good alternative I still have to buy those too. No use being concerned about it yet though, I have about a months work quilting before I need anymore backs.

I made pink backs for the Tumblers. I keep thinking that pink is about used up. Each time I make a pink back I think, "Well about enough for one more." I think I have enough for about one more now. I wonder if it will be the same next time. I am also wondering if it doesn't procreate when I put the lid on the tub!

I can hear the boys home from school. Think I'll go up and say hello.
