The top edge also has a small pinwheel border like at the bottom.
I started out making the entire quilt of the small pinwheels. My problem was I liked the fabric too much and I lost the fabric pattern in the small pinwheels.
So I ended up making large pinwheels for the middle. Finished top size is 54 x 76 inches. Just need to pick up a backing and fabric for binding. No more quilt tops until I get this and my Love is in the air top quilted. 
It really needed a good sunny day to get a photo. And today was that day.
Just a small strip of white on the backing.
Of course my little sunshine had to get in the photo.
When it was time to go in she just dropped to the ground and wouldn't move. She was trying her best mind control on me. It didn't work.
Walked up to get her and she rolls over playing dead. David home tonight, hopefully the grass will get mowed so I don't lose the dog in the jungle. 
Buttercup loves the sunshine. She is on one of the chairs I recovered last summer (love that fabric). If I can get Buttercup out of my lap I will go back to sewing.
Half of the scarf is embroidered. Not sure I like the two tone petals. But I am not going to change it.
Probably not the best project to start working on right now. Not with the other things I want to get done, this looks like it is going to be time consuming. I may use it as a filler project. Two blocks done, only 214 more to go. Yikes.
Birthday bag for someone. Hmmm... who could that be?
Drawstring tote bag for Whitney. 
She didn't know it but I cross stitched for many years. Haven't really done much embroidery at all since before Mason was born (he is now 17). So this is a great little project for me. It is a good hand work project while I sit with the family. For some reason they think I am mad a them when I don't give them undivided attention. Go figure.
I finally found her laying in a sun spot in my craft room. Wish I could have stayed home with her today.
My hand landed on the only thing that could have hurt me, a disposable razor. Took a couple nice chunks out of my hand. At least it isn't bleeding anymore. It has slowed me down a bit.
Another doggie tote bag. This is the one I was working on while waiting for the plumber to arrive. Note: don't use clear buttons in the future. I like the button closure I added. I just don't really like clear buttons, never knew I had this problem in the past. 
I like my front loaded washing machine on the pedestal base but the draw back is you can't see behind it. So when you finally realize you have a problem it is a big problem. Plumber found two leaks. Another pin hole leak in the copper piping and the diverter to the shower on the other side had no sodder at all on the joint. Now to get it dried out.
You really need to compare this photo to yesterday's photo of Mason standing next to his car. Notice the difference in his hair? Mason's hair has never been this short. Even when he was born he had a full head of hair. David was joking that the pile of hair they cut off was bigger than Buttercup.
And goodies from my partners have started arriving at my door.
Mason will be crusing in style in his PT Cruiser. It fits his personality perfectly.
On to the exciting news. I won this give away on BlueQuilts blog. I was half asleep at 5:30 this morning. Didn't have my glasses on, I really shouldn't read without them. Or should I say I can barely read without them. Buttercup was boucing around my lap. I had to read it a couple of times to make sure it really was me.
These are the fabulous tote bags I made yesteray. Don't you just love the lady bugs and polka dots? What you can't see them? Yes I know. For some unknown reason I packed them all without taking photos. Must be stressed out more than thought.
Although I did decide the doggie tote had to stay with me. Notice the is a chihuahua on there, I had to keep it.
Still wish I had hot pink ric rac but they were sold out, I resorted back to the pale pink. Looks good but doesn't have the pop I really wanted.
A black Hello Kitty tote with pink Hello Kitty lining. And a wonderful fariy tote are in the works. I think a little hot pink ric rac detail are in order for both. More to come.
I two big big swap-bot swaps I am in right now, with about 10 surprise packages I need to mail within the week. YIKES!!! I work well under pressure. One of the partners likes Hello Kitty. Guess I will be creating something with those. Bottom left is a really cool Robert Kauffman lizzard fabric. I am thinking a few boy baby bibs. All five prints total 2 yards. I really didn't spend that much. I have found I like buying fabric in smaller quantities and giving myself some variety. I tend to get bored very quickly looking at the same print. Although I can never get bored looking at the little piggies.
Turned a couple yards of pink pigs into 10 burp cloths and 10 bibs. Need to buy more snaps but they are totally done.
Had a half yard left over after making my tank top last weekend. Got 4 burp cloths and 3 bibs out of it. Soft flowery knit and flannel on the back make these really snuggly.
Hemmed Kim's pink dress. Quilted and bound the Red, White and Black scrap quick. And even thought of a name for it... "Beat the Clock". Odd name but I was trying to finish it before David and Mason got home. Finished the redesign on my green tshirt. Must have done something right, I even got a compliment from Kim about it. Buttons and button holes done on the sleeveless tropical twist shirt. Made the cover for David's sub-woofer for the truck. Only bad thing is I pulled something in my lower back. Got so much done off my list I splurged and made two burp cloths and 4 bibs. Just need to add the snaps and they will be done.
I decided several months ago I was a Debbie Mumm fan. Love her country-ish look. I am not a gardener so not sure why these appealed so much to me that I had to buy them. Maybe I will treat myself to a fun sewing project after I get my "to do" list done.
Finally laid this out, just need to baste, quilt and bind. Shouldn't take me more than a couple of hours to completely finish. Made from all the left over from the two quilt I made my Mother and sister.
Nice summer weight tshirt I bought before our Florida trip. After two washings it is short enough for a toddler. The star marks a safety pin, that is where I plan to cut and add some length. 
Shopping with a list makes me so much more productive. Boring white knit to add length to the green tshirt above. Yellow buttons for the short sleeve top I made over the weekend. And zipper for a camera case for Kim.
Two more hex flowers finished. Started making white fill in hexs. Plan is to circle each flower with white making a circular table runner for the round table in our kitchen. I don't recall having an obsession for yellow but it appears I made need an intervention for that also. 
This is the pattern I used to make Kim's pink dress this weekend. McCall pattern M5039. It was very simple. The only thing I would caution is there is a zipper under the arm. Which works out great to be an inconspicuous place. So if your zipper skills aren't the greatest it can be hid easily. The zipper does give the dress a great fit so it is well worth the little effort. Not much fabric and you can use a nice cotton print. Great summer dress. Of course I left all the fru-fru trim off the dress, Kim would have removed it anyway. Lucky to get her in a dress at all.David leaves for Washington state this weekend. Only gone a week this trip. Need to work on my project list for the weekend. See how much I can get done inside since I know it will be too soggy to be outside.
A couple of stuffies have arrived in the mail. Both from swap-bot swaps. Aren't they cute.
What an adorable giveaway. Check out Bluebird Quilts Blogaversay for a chance to win this adorable wall hanging. I know the perfect place where I would hang it if I win.
Far left is a cotton print called Tropical Twist, now a sleeveless buttonup for summer. Actually it is still button-less and buttonhole-less but otherwise done. It may take me all week for the 5 button holes. I haven't done a button hole on this new machine and need to practice before attacking my shirt.
You would think I have an obsession with pinks and flowers by looking at this photo. The top pink will be a dress for Kim. The middle one should be a sleeveless top for me. And the bottom one is a super soft knit that has plans of becoming a tank tank for me. All the patterns are simple so with a little luck they will get accomplished soon.
Burp cloths magically finished themselves. Love the green gingham, that was restashed from my Mom's stash to me. Put to very good use. Another example of I needed to buy fabric to reduce the fabric stash. The 24 burp cloths used about about 3 yards from the stash. Still haven't decided on those piggies yet.
