I haven't finished the Kaleidoscope quilt top yet... the center is done but the left over stratas were just sitting there, and I needed borders. I have been doing a sort of crazy quilt type thing with the left overs. There is one quilt in the book, by Ricky Tims, that has what looks like a crazy border on it but when you look at it closer you see all four border are the same. I love the one in the book but I had already started random piecing when I looked at the picture again. I will be working on it after dinner tonight, so maybe some pictures tomorrow.
The organizing of my time is coming along a little better. I have found if I make a list of what needs done it helps. My list has gotten longer the last few day because my husband may be transferred in his job. It is something we won't know for sure until he gets home from his deployment in Afghanistan mid July. Since we have a son in high school I may be moving before my husband so Ross can start School. I really hate having to move Ross right now, but that is the military life.
In the mean time I need to get this house ready to sell. This will really cut into my quilting time. We have an acre lot that is partially wooded. The woman who had this house before us was a fantastic gardener. She put brick walkways around and through the woods. She planted azaleas along the paths. It is a lot of the reason I liked this house when we bought it. When it is all cleaned up it looks like a park. Right now, not do much. I have not spent the time on it that it takes to keep it up. I now know I am not a gardener. I spent all day on it yesterday. I think if I just spend a couple hours a day on it I can get it under control at some point.
I guess dinner isn't going to make itself. Then back to the quilt.
