I spent a lot of time outside yesterday but first, inside.I hand sewed about 45" on the Charley in the Forest binding.
I trimmed the prints and solids star quilt. The backing is 3 fabrics. The one in the middle is a limey green with pink circles. Since they are opposites on the color wheel I don't know how to describe the color with the mix.
I pulled some fabrics as possible binding. I'm not opposed to having a light binding because this quilt will probably be for a young person and the darker fabrics may be too dark.
I have narrowed it down to three of the five fabrics I showed. Fabric #1
Fabric #2
Fabric #3.I think any one of them will work so I just need to make a decision.
I forgot to take any photos while I was outside so I took this one from the kitchen window.One of the garden centers had $15 pots planted with an assortment of annuals so I got 2 of them and put the contents in my hanging pots. I just had to fill in around the plantings with a little dirt and they were ready to hang. I'll get a better photo outside some day.
While outside I dug 3 coneflowers and 2 Lungwort and planted them in pots. They will go to my granddaughter's house at the end of May. I need to dig more but that was enough for one day. I also did more cleanup in the front garden and dug out some dandelions. I'm wondering if I'll be stiff and sore or if my body is adjusting to outside work.
