Default The quilt from hell update.

Well, I have started piecing together the top of the quilt from hell.
62" x 62" to make into a lap quilt. It is comprised of 1-1/2" squares
made up of 2 pieces of contrasting fabric cut in a diagonal and pieced
together so that it makes a 1" finished square when placed in the
quilt top. I have 5 rows of 62 pieces done and can honestly say that
it is going to be impressive when completed. So much random color is
present that it is a feast for they eyes to see. I know I will love
this one, when it is finally finished. I was not sure until I saw a
sample of the finished product. Wow! I am going to do 5 rows at a
time, and then when they are done, piece those rows together into the
finished top. That way I don't have to deal with the whole thing as it
grows , like Topsy, into the finished top. It probably will take a
while to finish all the 5 row pkgs and then piece them together, but I
am on a roll and looking forward to completing this thing. Of course,
pictures will follow when the whole thing is done; and I am in the
asylum again. Just thought you might like to know that I am still in
the game.

Well great! When I was enjoying seeing what all was available for Easter
Basket happies, I noticed quite a lot of crayons, markers and paints, and
wondered what we might need to pick up for you when it's determined that you
might be going to do yourself some harm. Polly

I saw some of those sniffy, smell good ink Crayola Markers.......completely
non toxic. John can chew and lick on them, color his teeth, etc with
absolutely no harmful side effects! Next best thing to Elmer's School
Glue......we need to get him a jug of that too, for his care package, when
he goes to .....uhhhhmmmmm....."rest".

John, it sounds magnificent! But please don't forget to let us know
which asylum you're in and whether you're allowed visitors.

Er, ummmmm. . . Sandy, I think we will need to consider visiting John
cautiously before we really do it. Maybe just sending him nice little gifts
would be best. There could be some doubts about which ones of us were
visitors. One of our DDs has a certificate declaring that she is sane. She
needed it to qualify for some sort of hot-shot security clearance, but most
of us are just out loose on the honor system. Polly

Gee, if he comes out this way, maybe I can arrange to clerk the
calendar at the psychiatric facility when his case comes up for
hearing

clerking the Mental Health calendar this week - but not sure if I am
the clerk or a patient some days!

Good point, Polly. Maybe we can arrange a video chat instead?
