Zyrtec makes my head feel funny.

Even a full 12-20 hours after taking it. But apparently my beloved Flonase is only controlling the symptoms it feels like controlling. So either I am insanely itchy to the point of ripping my skin off, or I take Zyrtec before bed and then have the icky empty floaty head the entire next day. Well, what kind of a deal is that, I ask you?

Fortunately I did NOT take any Sunday night so I was able to use my day of waiting (Monday) to get a ton of quilting done on Little Pinky. I'm just doing a double-line grid, using the seams of the blocks/squares to decide where to put the lines. I guess this is a little smaller than the last baby quilt I made because it seems to just be flying along.

If I finish the quilting in the next two days, will I be able to blindstitch down the binding in just two days and get it out of here by Friday? (Remembering how this weekend while blindstitching Mariko's quilt, I made my left thumb go numb THREE TIMES one morning.)

I'd pick the empty-head over the itchy.

I am a big fan of the double-line grid quilting. I just used it for the first time on a picinic quilt(that I haven't taken a picture of yet) and it looks so good.

In a nutshell, why I fear blind stitching, even if it does look prettier.
