I was going to prepare the layers of a small quilt for basting on my large table in the basement when I remembered I still needed to trim this 16 patch quilt. I didn't look for binding fabric yet.
This is the one with the rooster fabric on the back. The quilt was 72" x 88" before quilting so it will need 8 strips of binding. I'll be searching for a binding piece large enough today.
I got all of these squares pressed and now I need to decide whether I'm going to sew them into 4 patches or leave them loose for a random layout.
I ran out of yarn 7 rows from the end of this dishcloth so I dug into the little bag of ends of balls and found a blue that matches the flecks in the yarn. I didn't have an ecru yarn that was close enough of a match to use.
My pacemaker is working properly, the wires to my heart are in good shape, and my EKG was good, so I won't see the pacemaker duo for another year. It was a long wait for the dr. but my son who drove me there was patient. We went through a carwash with my van on the way home. It is 22 years old and looks brand new now. Even the wheels are the shiniest silver now. That hasn't happened for a long time.
