Binding fabrics, quilting.............

I really had to search for fabrics that were in this quilt to use for the multicolor binding.  I knew I used the end of two fabrics and I really hid the others when I put them away.

 I started the quilting in the border that is spaced the same as the rest of the quilting.

I went shopping for 8' light bulbs in addition to other things yesterday.  Today my electrician is coming to put a new ballast in the fixture at the bottom of my basement stairs.  I put a new bulb in 3 months ago and it is already dying, $10 down the drain.  I have to get the daylight bulbs and they are more expensive than run of the mill type fluorescent bulbs.  I hope this fixes the problem.  Most 8' bulbs last me at least 5 years and some are at least 10 years old.  This year I had to replace 5.
