Back to “Insanity Revisited” – Dear Jane

At least I will be back to these little blocks for awhile.  I am waiting for some batting to arrive and when it does I will set about quilting another small quilt.  This quilt is one that I did back when we were traveling in September to Colorado and all the wonderful mountains out there.  I finished it when I was visiting our daughter at the end of September.  It is all hand pieced and will be hand quilted whenever I get my batting.

"So Charming" I'm not sure how I will quilt it most likely a "daisy" type of flower in the centers of the bright blocks or a geometric design and then wavy lines or something like that in the white sashing areas. The white with black dots is the backing. I think I might use black thread on the white areas and white thread on the black areas. I'm not sure what on the color areas.

Row J (10) block 10 - let me tell you it is not fun trying to needle turn all these little ovals in place but I did it! I started yesterday and finished it watching the evening news. I this little block took close to 4 hours to do, one of the longer times. I still need to rub the white chalk lines off of the red.

I’m not sure how long I will need to wait for my batting.  I had order two battings – twin size from a company I had not ordered from before.  About two days later I got an e mail from them telling me they didn’t have the twin size but if I wanted queen size they could send that – if I didn’t want queen size did I want to wait until they ordered more.  I sent back an e mail asking them how long I would need to wait for them to order it and for it to get to me – I never heard back from them!!  Two days later I sent them another e mail and told them to cancel the order seeing as they had not responded to my question I thought they might not be a company I wanted to order from.  I still have not heard from them – strange way to do business.

So I ordered from a company I have ordered from other times with good luck instead.  But they are in New York – where they had that big snow storm – I wonder if my order will be delayed.  I might send them an e mail and find out – but while I wait for it to arrive I will work on my little blocks and the quilting on the Christmas Quilt.
