i stayed up Late to finish this one.   by the light of the lamp.   was uncomfortable with it…felt very edgy.

before i went to sleep i wanted to pin it up so i could look  first thing  in the morning.   Had to  move the others down some and was tired and just let them overlap,  stood on the stepstool to pin it to the top,  not wanting to disturb the order of the others.  

First thing this morning…there it was!  and much to my surprise…somehow,  all of them together like this somehow had  become a ….quilt.   How quilts Are.   Instead of just  blocks,   there was  ……uhhhhh,   Interaction.     With its presence,  had become community.   ????    So…again.  even in this  traditional way…cloth Teaches.      cloth,  its Self,      has Imagination.

    your strips of cloth look very much at home with each other … like colors in nature, they “go together” with seeming ease … I don’t know whether you are choosing or they are choosing, but it feels “right”

    There have been individual squares that I have been less happy with but when they are placed together that all goes away and it works…

    Funny how we “like” certain squares more than others – maybe cloth scraps don’t have those kinds of preferences, knowing they belong together. Your squares look great.

    I’m liking this so much. I’m imagining the comfort stroking this quilt during a restless night might bring.

    Oh how I can relate to keep going till a block gets done. You are absolutely making a quilt and the more blocks you make the more you’ll see that you really can’t go wrong. With every block it is just going to grow more beautiful!!
