… are added to the rotation. I have so little left to do to put the basket blocks together that I don’t want to let them sit any longer. All that’s really left to do is wash some more of the white fabric I used in this, print some more shapes for and piece the sashing together.
This is the other project. Another fairly quick finish too. I have 2 of the 16 blocks I want to make done and this will be a teddy bear quilt. Again, just a few more shapes to print.

I have figured out, I think, what’s setting off my wrists and it’s related to work. Today will be a long day which will, I think, probably really set them off so Mr. Quilt Obsession will likely be pinch-hitting tomorrow.
Smudge held this pose for the longest time, waiting for the requisite pictures to be taken. It is so funny to see that his eyes are open just a bit while he watches to see if we’re finished taking photos of him. As soon as he sees that we are, he changes position. If you click on this photo to enlarge it, I think you may be able to see that his one front paw is seemingly suspended in space — he wasn’t resting it against the sofa cushion at all.
Lester spent most of the afternoon on the love seat, mostly snoozing but I was able to get one picture of him awake.


There is something about those basket blocks that just makes me smile. I can hardly wait to see the finished top.Crispy
