My friend Kim gave me her signature block a week ago and
said, "I hope I'm not to late!"
haha
Well, yeah, she was, BUT,
I was ONE block short and I had put in one unsigned block
that I had laying around! (The one my seam ripper is pointing to.)
I was so thrilled that she gave me her block. I LOVE the colors she put together!
We often have this talk about COLORS. Kim and I bonded because we have
special names for the colors we like to use.
Do you see that pale yellow green fabric she used in her borders of her block?
She calls it "URINE," while I go for something less distinct, "CAT PEE."
She says "PUKE" colored, I say "POND SCUM."
Can you see why we get along so well?
I actually have a quilt that is officially called "MIXED PAINT"
but I secretly and affectionately call it "POND SCUM"
It's the only way I can remember what quilt it is... ;-)
You can see a post that includes the quilt here.
See if you can tell which one it is!
Ever so carefully I replaced the block... Now the quilt feels COMPLETE! Thanks KIM!
Here it is! My gorgeous KING size
Brought to especially by,
you , you, you , you, you,you , you, you , you, and you!
THANK YOU TO ALL who contributed a block!
I'm still contemplating a wee border around.
But will let it sit and ferment for a bit before I decide that...

OK, While I have been putting this post together
I keep walking back and forth past my couch....
Every time I walk by, these two, are in different positions...
Exhibit #1: above:
Pillow squasher Jenny Egg on poor squashed Hexagon pillow.
&
Exhibit #2:
Pillow squasher KIA on top of now crumpled couch cushion...
A few minutes later....KIA, has fallen behind the cushions....
...and yet, a few more minutes later,
JENNY EGG is now sitting on top of KIA.
Don't you love KIA's expression?
What do you think she is thinking?
Awesome quilt, lovely signature blocks. Darling fur-babies.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend ~

Beautiful, Victoria! The border is perfect. I'm honored to have a block in it. Will Jackie be quilting it? Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, the quilt top is wonderful!! off subject, i love your dresses!!! i've noticed that you wear them and i think it's so retro cool!!! if i was tall and thin,,,,(ok i'm tall, just need to loose excess pounds and make house dresses to wear). :>) enjoy your summer days!!!
ReplyDeleteThe siggy quilt is amazing!! It's so much fun to see all the different blocks. The last picture made me laugh out loud, that doesn't happen very often. I miss having a little 4 legged creature in my life. :(
ReplyDeleteHey Debbie, i'm not sure who will quilt this yet... it may sit her a while before I make up my mind if I am completely done with it! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnd Mary, I love 40's cut cotton dresses.. I have a load of them... they seam to fit me very well.... ;-) perhaps I can do a post on them one of these days...
Oh, no! That was MY unsigned block from another swap! LOL.
ReplyDeleteBlast from the past!

ReplyDeleteThe quilt came out beautifully, wish I had been able to send one, but we know how dense I am lately;) Love the pups, so cute, hard to tell where one starts and the other ends.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
lovely, lovely, lovely. thanks for including me. I had to unpick a block last week from a finished quilt, which is easier than I feared.
ReplyDeleteKia is muttering: "Hey, I thought I was Top Dog around here!!!"
ReplyDeleteYour signature quilt is beautiful. Am thrilled to be a part of of it and the border is inspired. I think Kia is saying that it is nice to be squashed by someone you love!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt turned out so wonderful. I am so glad I was a part of it. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThose guys are adorable! And the quilt is very colorful! I like it!
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome!! I think Kia is saying "When is Mom going to stop walking past us long enough to see that Jenny Egg is really cramping my style, and get me outta here!!... Please!"
ReplyDeleteAbout the signature block, isn't awesome when the "unplanned" happens to fit right into our plans ?? LOL !!! That quilt is awesome!
