I had a change of plans after reading Kathy's comment yesterday. She said How about pinwheels? I have been planning to do a pinwheel quilt at some point so this was the perfect start.
Last night I sewed 27 little 4" pinwheels with all 4 segments matching. I will now make a few more with some 2 and 2 sections.
My plan for that future pinwheel quilt included 3 different sizes of pinwheels. I had some half strips of Marcia Derse fabric left over from cutting a previous quilt. I was able to cut 8 four inch triangles from them and the leftovers will be used to cut some more 2" triangles. I need to cut some three inch triangles next.
Earlier in the day I went through my big bin of brown/rust/gold fabrics and pulled some choices to audition for the binding on this 16 patch quilt. I'll look at them closer today. I was mainly looking for fabrics with more than a half yard.
Yesterday morning I was enjoying the gold leaves on the Redbud trees against the brilliant blue sky. About a third of the leaves have dropped.
In the afternoon I checked out the tree across the street. It is changing color slowly, giving us a lot of time to enjoy it.
When I was out checking the tomato plants I cut a new bouquet of Marigolds. They are at their prime now, 5 months after I planted the seeds. I was beginning to think they were going to just be leaves after months of no buds.
The draping plant is now changing to gold in the pots on the front table. I think we are past worries of frost for about a week.
