Soooo....what quilt of mine am I going to work on and try to finish up next? I've been trying to decide and first I dug out my "Garlic Knots" and after spreading it out on my bed I've decided that I still need about 48 more blocks to make it the size that I want. I know that if I don't make it a little larger than it is right now then I will never be happy with it. I love this quilt so far and I have 120 of the blocks sewn together here in a 10x12 setting. I think I want to add 2 more rows to the side and 2 more rows on the bottom...then add a simple border.
As I was looking at this quilt top I noticed that I have one of the blocks turned wrong. See the blue block below. This is on the edge and I will take that out and fix it as it will bug me.
I had a few more of these blocks cut out so I decided to sew a few of them up...
Then I sewed a few more...
Then I found my windmills! I love these! I have several hundred of these sewn into blocks of 16.
I sewed a few of these that I already had cut out...
Then a few more...
And more...
Then I ran out of what I had cut and could not find my acrylic template to cut more. So this will go on the back burner until I find my template.
Then finally I dug out my "Now and Later" or "Now or Later" LOL! I don't remember the name exactly. :) This one being a very simple pattern will not take too long to finish up. It looks like I have all of the lighter squares cut and some of the colored rectangles cut. I would like to make it a row wider and as you can see it needs to be longer. I will probably add a simple border on it as well.
So I guess that is the plan...to work on this between customer quilts. Speaking of customer quilts...I need to get back working on them as I haven't for a few days. It is hard to concentrate on them while dealing with this toothache stuff. I have started an antibiotic and will probably going to the dentist in a few days.

love the windmill and garlic knots - have thought of both to add to my ever growing list
Garlic Knots is lovely and so are the other projects. I hope you find your template for windmills! Happy stitching and I hope your toothache goes away.
I love each and every one of your quilts. You do such beautiful, big scrap quilts that make a bed look so homey and inviting.
