i can't get the colors right.  An overcast day,  but in an odd way, oveercast,  and it's just not happening,  no matter what i try.  It's kind of this,  but so much more BRIGHTER.

but it's an aching.  I want this.  but i also know i can't use so much of Deb's cloth. 

I looked and looked and looked thinking i should take off the central cotton piece and place it on just So Much of the piece of Deb's cloth but ……..eeeeeee,  no.  it would change everything.  And i don't want it changed.

Deb's cloth,  for me,  represents the Experience i FEEL of this Earth and Sky.  The beauty of it.  And when i put the cotton IN it,  represents for me the Place i have,  WE have inside that Amazement.  The cotton of Us.   

it's so BeautyFull,  all this.  And RAIN continues and will continue for some days and i cook curry.  This small home smells of curry.  I can hear Talkie out there in the doe Goat Shelter,  chuurring her chicken talk,     Bless Her.  Bless Us.  Bless this Hill.

    (((Grace))) if you invisible baste near the edge of the onlaid brown cloth could you cut the back out so you still have the middle piece of Deb’s beautiful cloth and then insert another cloth that doesn’t need to be seen for backing?

    I agree– I also cut away from under another cloth. Once it’s basted around the edges–easy enough to cut away. Curry. I can smell it here in Maine. Wish I had some cooking to warm up my place on the other side of the Earth from you Grace. It’s cold here and the promised rain did not start yet. But dark, no sun and cold and nearly June.

    ok you don’t want to cut it but you want to cover it perhaps making it reversable so the view from the back of the cloth is as pertinent as the front &/or alternatively you can hinge the top pieces to reveal the space beneath as you have done on previous cloths
