I spent yesterday getting borders on the nested pinwheel quilt.  It’s pretty and ready to go to Karen.  I’ll pick backing up when I go out on Monday.

I’m on target to be done by Thursday.  I have 32 more blocks to complete.  At 16 blocks a day I should be done with this Wednesday.

I’m planning for a scarlet stopper and a multi-colored batik border.  We’ll see what we find when we get to Fabric Depot.  This isn’t anything special, it’s just a bed quilt.

Another vertical column or two and this quilt will be halfway assembled!  I’m more than halfway done, of course, because quite a few of the left hand blocks are done.  I’ve got three more big pinwheel fabs to which I must add green.  I don’t have enough yellow (or green) wedges cut, but I’m getting there!

LouAnn and I are planning a trip to Portland.  Her electric lawn mower isn’t working and we both need backing, batting and border fabric.

While we’re in Portland I want to pick up 2 50 liter bags of hydroton for my aquaponic grow beds.  Oregon Organiks is about 4 miles south of the repair shop and Fabric Depot is between the two.

If we time it just right we can catch lunch at Chang’s Mongolian Grill (same area).  That’s what I call smart planning!
