Binding started............

Since the backing and binding aren't batiks I decided to had stitch the binding.  The day started out with my electrician coming to fix a faulty switch on one of my basement lights.  Then I worked outside emptying all of the porch pots.  I hit my hand into the outlet box on the front of the garage when I picked up one pot so now I have a scrape and a bruise.  I got my birdbath emptied and moved up by the house for the winter.  I still need to bring the 2 hoses in and should have done it while it was in the high 50s because a cold front is coming today.  When I came in I cut 7 more Blazing Star blocks but didn't feel like sewing them yet.

What is the deal with chocolate chips not melting?  I knew I couldn't use milk chocolate chips because I tried them once and they didn't melt.  The semi-sweet chips have always melted before but these?  Not so great.  So much for my dish to pass.  It will still taste good but I don't think I want to explain what is on top............
