One Thing, One Thing.

The Not Paper Pieced quilt is probably going to tie with Too Much Chicken as the busiest quilts I've ever made. I am not sure if that is a good thing.

Last night I moved the cat closer to the big red NO. Now I think the cat looks like the "full stop" he is meant to be.

I added background fabric around the bird and sewed it to the THIS panel.

Then I sewed the scowly lady to the QUILT panel, and then sewed QUILT to the THIS panel. I added the lady at the sewing machine to the IS NOT panel.

I made another NO using the dud T with the wavy green dots. I allso made a silver NO that turned out too small and didn't look right. (Can you say DUD BIN?)

Then I made a half butterfly and placed it near PAPER-, but I'm not sure it will stay there. I'm not sure I like the half butterfly at all.

I moved the gal with the scissors down by the PIECED. She may not stay in the quilt either. Maybe I'll shift her to the backing. I actually like that idea.

I need a lot more NOs, and seeing what I have tells me that I don't need as many as I think and I have to make more greyish subtle ones. But that is for another day.

Today I will be at Quilted Threads teaching my Liberated Letters.



May the Fourth be with you!

Like my half-barn in the original blocks for SRC, I'm not so sure about that half-butterfly. And somehow the words for paper-pieced don't show up as well as the NO THIS QUILT IS NOT. Understand the color choices for the final words, but with the busy surroundings, they may need to be bolder? Time to pause and ponder.
