When I made my last pinwheel block, I forgot that I used the "white grunge" for the background fabric in every block. Yesterday I put up all the blocks on my design wall and it just didn't look right to me. I made another block with the white background. Now I have a lovely orphan block--I'm thinking--pillow. :) I spent some time rearranging blocks until I decided this was "it".
I cut sashings strips and got the first two rows done. I'm trying to decide if I want to make 25 little pinwheels for the cornerstones. I've looked at some of the lovely quilts in the flickr group that did that and I really liked the way they looked. I could also use different color squares for the cornerstones too. OR I could sash and be done. I'm just pleased to have gotten this far. I wish I could create as quickly as I can think up ways to do things. I read on someone's blog the other day (I forget whose---sorry) to enjoy the process and not just try to get that "#$%^& quilt done". It would be nice to have a "finish", but I am a pokey quilter. I'm glad to get the reassurance "it's good to be that way" from another quilter.
I think this little bunny is the cutest thing. He is the last block in Paula's Seasons Sew Along. Now I can trim and sew this together too. I entered a giveaway for Paula's two newest patterns. I won! How cool is that. I think they are really cute patterns for children's quilts.
DH has been enjoying the sweet smell of freshly cut alfalfa. He is hoping the rain will hold off until it dries alittle and then he can bale it into large round bales to feed the cattle this winter. We made a trip to town today with 3 old cows and the bull that didn't pass the vet's testing. With luck the check will pay for the 3 new bulls we bought.
I stocked up on groceries and DH bought some fishing tackle. We may sneak away to fish a day this week-end. Hugs.......................
