Finished the top of the 16-patch pinwheel quilt

I finished the top of the 16-patch pinwheel quilt.  I was interrupted with painting the basement where I will set up my long arm.  Yesturday, I repaired the ceiling, primed and painted it.

I had the walls painted already, but in the end my daughter and I didn't like the colour.  It's a nice colour, but not in the basement where there is not as much natural light.  It seemed a bit dull, so we went with a light grey with a touch of blue in it.

Since I finished that just after 11:00 pm last night, this morning it took a while to get going.  I was going to paint the stairway and hall leading to he basement room, however just didn't have that much energy, so instead I just washed the floors and put all the furniture back in order.

After lunch I thought I would take it easy and clean up my sewing room, by getting some odds and ends done.  One of the things I did was the borders for this quilt.  Above is a corner shot and below is a close up of the peek-a-boo and border.  Now I need the quilt it, as soon as my longarm comes in, not only because it is on my list of 12 for 2016, but also because it is a Christmas gift.
