Mopping and Quilts

Yesterday I mopped the floor. It had literally been 3 weeks. We had had two families over to eat dinner with us. I didn't mop before they came over. Needless to say it was getting bad. What made me finally do it? My quilts. I want to finish three quilts by March 10th. Two were pieced and I needed to pin the front, back and batting together - on the kitchen floor.

So, what I wouldn't do for friends or family I did for my quilts. This one is another wonky log cabin destined for Katie who works with Brian. They didn't want to find out the baby's gender so it is primary colors with one square of pink and flowers in some of the prints. The backing is a blue batik with flowers. Love it! Aleah couldn't wait until I was done so she could take of the tape and make a tape ball (think LOTS of whining). I think un-taping it is a pain so that worked for me. I also pinned a quilt top that I finished years ago for Colleen. I had put it off because I couldn't decide how to quilt it - and now that I basted it I discovered that it isn't pieced perfectly and will be a pain to quilt without getting puckers in it. Ugh! My camera ran out of batteries before I could get a picture if it so you will have to wait until it is quilted - the suspense!
