I finished binding this hexagon quilt early today. This quilt started out as an idea. When I got to a certain point I found that I wasn't liking it so I decided to just get it finished by adding little rosettes until it was square. Then I found that it wasn't turning into a square, but a diamond so I started filling it in with odds and ends of leftover hexagons just to get it finished. I think I like it though, now that it is done. Anthony really likes it, he made a point of mentioning it to me. He doesn't often come out and say what he likes, so if he likes it that much he is going to get it when it comes through the laundry.

That is the last one I had basted so I spent the rest of the morning getting backs ready for five quilts so I can get them basted once I get to the store for batting.
The back of it is a really scrappy pieced one. I was running out of stuff to use for backs so I used a lot of odds and ends. I had already decided to put my walking foot on the machine and just do a grid with straight lines so I wasn't too concerned with the thickness of extra seams because my walking foot can handle it.

In my opinion done is better than perfect.
This is the next project out of the UFO tub. I am down to one tub of UFOs from two tubs, so I can see the progress. I remember buying the pink fringe, but I don't remember where I put it although I saw it somewhere recently. All I have to do is remember where. I will work on the other ones first and do the pink last. Maybe by the time I get to it I will remember where the fringe is. There are not too many places it could be.

David just went out to work on the car. Yippie Skippie, maybe we will have something to drive soon. I hope so I am so tired of this being stuck here until Ambrosina has time to take me where I need to go. And we are not even talking about where I just have desire to go but don't actually need to go. That probably sounds like a complaint, but it is not meant to be. Just a plain statement of fact. I can't wait to have wheels again!

Oh well, what happens happens. I am just thankful we made it through to another (almost) Spring.
