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.

That's a cute dishcloth, I like the yarn. We are finally supposed to have our first freeze on Friday morning, I can't wait!
What a beautiful array of fabrics for your border …. Plus that ball of yarn makes such a pretty dish cloth. That is a new color ball of yarn to me and I hope to find it on my next shopping trip.
I need to look over the next week and see what needs to be pruned and unwind the hose and pull it down hill to drain late next week we are to get cold weather also.
Gorgeous florals . . . can't wait to see your finished quilt :)
I'm just finishing up a floral quilt, I still need to cut the blinding, sew it on and then hem it.
We were over 60 today so I took the opportunity for a long walk. It was a lovely day.
