Couch Quilt

I can't seem to get a good photo of these blocks tonight. They look so different when I look at them with the naked eye. Much darker... and bigger. Perhaps I'll try again in the morning.

I have about 43 of these made, and I'm only going to make 49. They're not all up on the wall obviously, but this is a good representation. The neutral one is only an audition - I was thinking of making 3 or 4 neutral ones with a dark centre, but I'm not sure.

This is all from the stash. I have the urge to buy some plain brown or coffee coloured plain, but the budget is tight, and I'm sure I can get by with what's in the cupboard. When looking at them on the wall, I get the feeling that it would be best not to overthink it, and just sew them all together and it will be OK. I'll have another look at it in the morning.

Here is a photo of Ms Chloe reclining on the spare bed, who has graduated from Dog Obedience 101 tonight, far from trained, but much improved. She was the best there, so that doesn't say much for the others! They really train the owner who then has to train the dog, but she is responding well, and will get much better with ongoing training. We picked up Simon, who survived the tick incident without any symptoms thank doG, from my friend's place on the way home - he has been going there while I've been out with Chloe as he yelps and cries if left alone. Chloe celebrated her graduation by disappearing into the dark of Jettie's vegetable garden when it was time to go home, and wouldn't come to get in the car. Great! It turns out she found a bone in there, and had to be flushed out to go home. Once a beagle, always a beagle I'm afraid...
