Basically the way I say his name has changed into something like "Em-Me" over the years.
Today he was in rare form as I attempted again to layout the 2014 Mystery quilt and finish the top. One time the galloping was so bad I had to refer to a previous photo to make sure I put everything back together correctly.
In the end I didn't over-think the layout as much as I thought I would.
There were two combinations I did do the same throughout. This one:
And this one:
Otherwise I basically put it together as I laid it out without much rearranging. This put a couple of blocks next to each other that maybe shouldn't have been, but given the non-conventional sashing I don't think it matters.
On a totally unrelated note I had a dream that I had baby turkeys the other night. I haven't been able to find a really good interpretation on baby turkeys specifically, but interpretations on turkeys in general isn't exactly uplifting. Hopefully that dream wasn't foreshadowing an exceptionally a foolish week or something.
Thank goodness for digital cameras so you could put your lay out back the way you wanted it. Poor Emile he was just having some fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the quilt turned out. With the sashing the star blocks kind of look like it is a white circle around the star. Will you add any borders?

I know! He just can't handle it when there is all that fabric to play with on slippery cardboard. I can actually hear him growl before he takes off and spins on it.
DeleteI really am liking how it came together as well. I agree on the white circles, it really pops out now. I am leaning towards no borders, which tends to be a personal preference when none is suggested. But I am going to the fabric store tomorrow to think about backing so who knows what will happen then.

Love this quilt! It is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have never dreamed about turkeys! You didn't just watch "After Earth" did you? ;)
I don't think I have watched "After Earth" or at least not recently.
DeleteThanks on the quilt! It never stops amazing me to see how these come out in the end.
Love the quilt, it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNow did you dream you "had" the turkeys as in pets? Or that you have birth to baby turkeys? The latter would be pretty creepy!
Thanks!
DeleteThankfully I didn't give birth to them, and I have actually been having baby dreams so it was a relief that didn't have them. They were just like a sudden added addition of pets except I was super protective of them and couldn't find a good place for them.
Emile doesn't look like he really cares how you say his name, lol. I forget my pets names half the time when I'm telling them not to do something, then I just say whatever your name is. I don't know how I ever did it with 5 cats and 2 dogs. I can't get it right with 2 cats and 2 dogs now. :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks beautiful! Where will this one be going to? It's amazing (to me) how fast you do them!
Hope you had a good week!

The most cats I have ever had at once was 5. I just don't have the space for them. That would be a lot of names to keep in order.
DeleteI haven't decided on this one. I had a plan for it and then got totally derailed by a week of too much going on so I didn't finish it in time for a party. So we will see how I feel about it if I ever finish.
But yes, sometimes I will get bursts and get a ton done and then sometimes I will have weeks like this one and nothing gets done. :)

I'm interested in the baby turkeys. Let me know how that works out!!
ReplyDeleteIn another lifetime I am sure I would have a little herd of baby turkeys...or at least some chickens. :)
DeleteThat was Holly talking in the last post.
ReplyDeleteHolly the doberman? Or another Holly person I know? :)
