The flannel quilt at the top left is my inspiration........
for the flannel quilt that has been waiting for about 10 years to finished. How can I remember how many years ago that I started it? I was still working at the quilt shop and I quit that job in Aug. 2000.
I like most of Country Threads quilts and have a pile of their books. Below is what I had already made. I think the reason I didn't finish it is that I was too lazy to make the 6th star block that I needed and I just stuck in a plain block. A friend was nagging me to take it out and make the star about 8 years ago. I have decided now that I really like it like it is. 
I even had the strips sets all sewn to make the last few blocks I needed. I used a lot of red where the one in the book has rust. Now I just have the final border to add and it can be quilted. 
When I was eating lunch there were a lot of birds chirping in the backyard. I looked out and the sparrows were here, fighting over the feeders. My dad says sparrows always hang together in a flock so that when the sparrow hawk comes he is confused which one to go after. 
I haven't chosen a project yet for today. I may need to call this cleaning day. The 9 patch quilt and this flannel quilt have spread an amazing amount of threads in the sewing area in the basement. I'll find time for something fun though.

My dad saw the cardiologist yesterday and now we will go to the hospital for an heart ultrasound and a chemical stress test next week. The cardiologist is a very nice man, very concerned.
