I routinely make huge quilts. 90 X 108 inches. Big. So these grant quilts, while intense in quilting, seem small by comparison. Tonight I prepared the way to make the binding I need. Actually four fabrics worth of binding because I decided to go with changing the color at each landscape color change. Took a little more math than normal, but when you look at the dinky hunks of fabric I had to cut of the fabrics I need the most of (earth and sky) – well if you were me you’d laugh. Two 20 inch squares to make into binding is baby stuff.

Today I treated myself to some new music. Haven’t done that since mid-September when you might recall I indulged in the pop music of my youth – Beatles, Paul Simon, Rod Stewart, Carole King, Cat Stevens…. Today I was ready for a change. I’ve been listening to a lot of Enya and Altan on my iPod. Stopped at Borders to see if they had a particular copy of FiberArts magazine (no) and bought: the Glenn Gould Bach Goldberg Variations, Beethoven’s 9th, and Schubert’s 9th. I listened to Gould while cutting out my binding. Thanks Jeremy for reminding me about it.
