By the way, although I did a "square on point" layout, you can see in the below photo the proposed layout I found online. If you really look you can see that the corners of 4 blocks build swirls as well.
It was while messing with the below layout that I realized I was also supposed to do another layer on all the blocks that would have made them bigger and more pronounced swirling, but didn't have enough "lights" to do so. I was a bit grouchy about this, but I decided to let it go and get sewing because I had already totally wound myself up earlier in the day over job seeking stress and it was time to just sew!
Finished top for little quilt:
Finished top for bigger quilt:
I now have 3 or 4 finished tops at this point and a pile in my sewing area so it is time to start assembling quilts. Maybe this weekend.
In completely unrelated news, and much to Emile's dismay, Leela claimed the snuggle this morning.
And she defended it.
And she gave him the top quarter as long as he didn't move or touch her.
Perhaps you should make another snuggle.
ReplyDeleteIf I did we all know they would both prefer the same one. :)
DeleteLove the way the quilt tops came out. Poor Emile. That first picture looks as if Emile is looking to you for help.

I know! I felt so bad for him, he actually was looking at me like "fix this." Although with those two neither is particularly innocent.
DeleteI am glad to have the tops done!
The quilt looks great! I love, love purple!
ReplyDeleteYou caught a great shot of Emile and Leela with their paws getting ready, very funny!
Yes, that was right before the explosion and action, and Leela still held her ground.
DeleteThanks, I think the quilts look really fun actually. I need to get them finished.
