While I was in the basement doing laundry and vacuuming, I decided to put some more white and black prints for the rest of the star blocks. I have to cut some more star points in Kaffe fabrics too. I have two sets cut already.
I showed the star points and pinwheel blocks laying on the white/black prints last week. Yesterday I cut the triangles and squares and sewed them. They are 16" square and I think they need some black/white sashing so I need to make at least 9 more for a lap size quilt (or more if I decide to make it bigger).
I had a gift certificate to a local nursery so I bought plants for my porch pots yesterday afternoon.
I was able to save a few coleus cuttings from last year. I keep them in water all winter and then plant them in the spring. If I planted them as soon as they rooted I would have had larger plants. Some of the stems were getting woody so I hope they survive. The whole idea was to save some money on plants this year.
I finally quilted the quilt that has been loaded on my longarm for 2 weeks. It is the fossil fern and Kaffe fabrics quilt from a few months ago. I quilted it the same way as the red/orange one that I made like it a few years ago.
I finished another dishcloth last night. Wouldn't these colors make you want to wash dishes? I bet the dishwater will have a purple tint to it.
The doves like the bird bath too. They just walk around in it and take a few drinks.
The robins on the other hand chase all of the rest of the birds out and really take a bath. He turned his back on me when I got the camera. When he turned around he chased the sparrow away.
I needed to get this quilt off the design wall too so I sewed some more rows. I have 10 of 14 sewn and should be able to finish seams in one direction today.
I'm still digging out dandelions. This one has been mowed over so a lot of leaves are gone but look at the length of that root. I think I broke off the end of it so it was even longer. It's no wonder we can't get rid of them.
There was one rose breasted Grosbeak under the feeder yesterday morning.
He cooled off his feet and had a drink in the bird bath while he was here. 
The progress is slow on this quilt. I have been tearing out some of the paper after I get sections sewn together. I need to get the pieced border started but I haven't even chosen the fabrics yet. The art quilters group is coming next week so I will start cleaning the basement too. This quilt needs to be off the wall by then so I'll have to do a few blocks a day.
My son came over to hook up my 2 hoses and do a couple other things and he brought me a pretty bouquet. I spent almost 3 hours digging out weeds. Some of the dandelions were huge with roots branching out in several directions instead of just straight down like they usually are. I guess that is because of the mild winter and a longer growing season. Today is church sewing circle so I am working on pillowcases before I leave at noon.
The redbuds are finally in bloom. It was cool yesterday and will be today too so the blossoms may last a few days longer. I'm at the boring part on 3 quilts, adding sashing, sewing rows so no photos.
Now I am knitting one from the yarn that looks like string and I love the tweedy look. I have started another blue one with the friendship star quilt pattern. I have a third one in progress that takes a lot of concentration so whatever mood I'm in, I have one to work on.
