Resurrecting a lost art (that probably should have stayed lost)
At Toastmasters last night, the Table Topics (impromptu speaking segment) were themed around awful and awkward Christmas gifts, and the difficulty of pretending to be grateful for them.

All the little squares
I finally finished the quilt top for the Little Squares quilt! SO MANY seams to match! I am starting to understand why people put sashing between quilt blocks. I’m really pleased with how it looks, though: Now I’ve just got to quilt it. I’ve got a few ideas for what I want to do, but…

You must have a mathematical mind. . . I would never figure all that out!
The last one, definitely the last one.
That is SERIOUSLY impressive though, I love it…. the mental sparks are flying… GAH! I have too many PHDs already, can’t possibly start a new project. WANT to though!
I like the 4 squares in the middle and diamond shaped from your previous post best, I think. So pretty 🙂
Last one for me too! You are one clever little kitten. Well done and Happy New Year.
