Babies and Pinwheels

Last night was my first night on my own with the 2 little ones since Joel had another 30 hour shift, and Grandma Thompson had to return to real life.  The day went well, but the night was rather painful.  Emma decided she wanted to be fed at least every 2 hours.  Sigh.  Hopefully it'll go better with Joel home tonight.

Meanwhile, I have been thinking a lot about my ladybug quilt and I've decided the Ohio Star doesn't go well with the polka dots.  I was looking at the tummy-time quilt I made with some of the same ladybug fabric and thought I would stick with the same pinwheel motif. 

  It took one day to cut out some triangles.....

And another day to sew them together.....

I was right- it's slow going with a newborn, but it makes me feel a semblance of normalcy to have a project to work on, so I'm not complaining.
