After finding enough choices for the border rectangles on the floral quilt, I had to press all of the fabrics. I got pieces cut from 9 of the fabrics. I have 26 pieces here and I need 36. I will be over-cutting so that I have plenty of choices when I do the layout of them on the perimeter. I'm going to use mostly dark fabrics so the integrated border will show up slightly as a frame.
Since I wasn't ready to sew the top yet, I finished knitting another dishcloth last night. This is a newer color that I hadn't used yet. I buy the Super Size balls of yarn and I can get 3 dishcloths from one ball.
Today is predicted to be 51 degrees. A week from today 21 is predicted for a high. I will need to do a walk around my yard and gardens today and see if there is anything else I need to take care of. I will probably cut down the Annabelle Hydrangea by my back picture window. I will leave the one in front of the house as is and cut it down in the spring. The Zinfin Doll Hydrangea will get pruned in late winter/early spring.
