It would be nice to be able to dole out the errands to a bunch of other people, but in the end it is just me doing them. I spent part of the afternoon reading and didn't go near fabric until I was watching "Castle". I have been working on these log cabin blocks in between other things for the last couple months. Four of the blocks were left over from the 2 batik log cabin quilts I made last year. I still have one more round to do on 8 blocks. Then I think I will make a few more blocks so it will be 5 blocks across and 7 down. Then I will put 2 borders on it and finish it as a summer lap quilt. Batik is so lightweight that it will be good for that. I have used Hobbs Thermore batting in one other quilt and may get some for this quilt. It is a very thin polyester batting that was originally made years ago for quilted garments and was only 45" wide. Then the quilters asked for it for quilts too and they started making it 90" wide.
