Great quilt finishes on show today - I have come to the conclusion that I love scrappy quilts the best and that's mainly because of you.

The zipper quilt is fabulous but ooh the Scrappy Stars will make a showstopper of a quilt.

Did you explain the technique on the four patch? I love how that quilt turned out and am very curious if it is something I want to try my hand at.

His drawings are always so appealing. I almost typed "weedsy," which brings us to the zip pouch. Duuuuuude...that's a cool pouch, dude. Perfect to hold snacks or paraphernalia! The cat fabric does indeed look sneaky and up to no good, but the Pokey fabric!!! OMG! Pokey was my favorite toy as a little girl, and I had about 10 of the orange rubbery guys. I made them into a big family with elaborate backstories. Drew big eyelashes on the girls and made them all little ponchos out of fabric scraps. The metal wires inside them to make them poseable always broke right at the hips and shoulders, so the whole family had the same genetic defect, "Floppy Arm Syndrome." But with the right ball-point pen mascara, this disability was overcome. Great memories!

Instead of a gazillion little blocks that never get put together, some 16" blocks might make it to a finish. We're having a turkey dinner today since I had oral surgery on Monday and wasn't up to either cooking or eating for a while. So I'm off to throw a baby quilt in the wash and make cranberry sauce. Oh and it's sunny for the first time in two weeks, so a walk might be in order, too.<br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-82243587139903826862020-11-29T06:58:06.986-07:002020-11-29T06:58:06.986-07:00Look at you being all busy and fun!

I particularly like your Scarptastic Stars, such a great block.

Looking forward to your finish! <br /><br />We've had dustings of snow and rain but today it is finally sunny but windy. Our basement in this old farmhouse leaks like a sieve if we get too much rain so not wishing for that. Our Thanksgiving was quiet for the first time in eons. It was just like any other day. I'm not complaining. I enjoy any other days.
