Thank you all,, Francis did have a great time, she really enjoyed herself. She was surprise at the questions the kids asked and actually asked me if I gave them the questions and I told her I didn't, they are just really smart and dedicated kids. I can hardly wait to see your pinwheel quilt!

I finished the 99th pinwheel this evening. Now to sew them together and do the sashings. It's going to be queen size so I'm dreading the quilting part. It started out to be full size but my hubby decided to buy a new bed so we went queen. Luckily I hadn't got farther along than I did. I thought I had enough white for the sashing but I'm short so will have to get more. If Walmart no longer has the white on white I used in the pinwheels I can use just plain white and it will work just as well.

That tends to be a problem for me also. I have a log cabin quilt top finished for my youngest son but it needs to be layered and then quilted. I have a comfort quilt top finished for our local women's shelter but it needs the same thing. I hopr to get it finished before out next guild meeting in June, but I might not. I'm going to try though.

I thought I was going to finish a small lap quilt out of some of the flannel we got but when I put the batting and backing on and then tried to sew across it in an X it got bunched up in the middle and at the edges and doesn't look good at all.

Do you have an attachment called a walking foot? It is fabulous to use because it feeds all the layers you're quilting evenly. If you don't, you can buy one at most fabric stores. Did you pin the layers together with safety pins or quilting pins every four or five inches? That also helps and you just remove them as you sew up to them.
