The necessary tasks.......

I did lots of things yesterday, necessary things: shopping for household supplies, taking down 3 storm windows and putting up the screens, paying bills.  Then I started cutting the batting for the next 2 quilts.  They will be numbers 7 & 8 of 14 to finish by mid-May.
This one looks so washed out under the fluorescent lights.  It really has more personality.  I pieced the backing for this one too.  I only needed to add a little bit as the quilt is almost 45" square and the fabric is 44" so I think the seam will hide under the hanging sleeve.
While looking for a backing I saw this batik in the pile.  I think I need to cut into it soon.
