Did you notice that the grandmother made the red pinwheels going in an opposite direction from the others?  Is that important in any way?

I had to make a new quilt for Pita as the one on his bed was once again "broken".  This time it was cuddly enough, but too hot.  He wanted to take the king size Bonnie Hunter quilt and use it on a full size bed because it is the right weight.  Ummm, no.

I made a quick Card Trick (MSQC) out of batiks with a black background.  It looks nice.  He likes a very thin batting so I decided to use cotton.  Then I discover I don't have any cotton batting (mainly because I don't like it at all.  I don't like how thin, flat, and lightweight it is.  It also doesn't define the quilting well so I'm really not a fan.)  So here I was all motivated to get this quilt loaded and completed and instead I come to a screeching halt.  Bah.

The good news is that Joann's has 40 yard rolls of Pellon cotton batting on sale for $199.99 which is a pretty good deal.  Some of you might want to run take a look.

Here is my setup I bought dog 2 grooming arms to hold my quilts up as well as two bungee cords and strong clamps.  I hope I can post the pictures one is just the setup and the other shows in use. Makes life so much easier! 

Terrific photos, Sandy!  You are an inspiration to everyone!

wow...neat setup! I might even have room for that kind of setup!!

Jo, your quilt is lovely.  It's wonderful being able to make such personalized gifts for our loved ones.

Congratulations on adding Suzy Q to your family!  I'm glad you're so happy with her.  I have 3 Baby Lock machines and love them all.

What fun you must be having!

hmm, I had not noticed that.  My favorite block is a red one, but one of the pinwheels is torn in that one.  I'm trying to pick a section that is a whole as possible.  Mostly the sashing and binding are frayed, but there are a couple of blocks too. 

It's beautiful, Mary.  I'm sure you will complete it by June 20.  They should love it.
