The butterfly stars are progressing. I managed to force myself away from Red Delicious and am back to working on the baby quilt. I need to get more of the butterfly hexagons ready so will work on that for the next couple of evenings. I think if I manage to get at least a full row of this done every week I can then devote any stitching time on weekends to Red Delicious.
I’m surprised at how quick these little blocks are to put together. Perhaps it’s the incentive of time to stitch on Red Delicious that’s got me stitching quickly on these.
Mr. Quilt Obsession is a cryptic crosswords fan. He heard about some fabulous new book on solving those puzzles (which are so beyond me it isn’t even funny — the clues make me crazy) and ordered one for himself and a friend. How did he wrap it for the friend? In two cryptic crosswords taped together. Completely appropriate. The two of them are often on the phone comparing solutions to these puzzles.
Another in the series of the two boys together. They sat there for some time so we were able to get a few of these shots. I really wonder what they saw out there!

I love the apple cores (I posted on your post on the B&W blog). I have yet to try curved pieceing. You piece by hand, correct?The kitties are too cute for words!

Cathi, I really wonder what those two were looking at as well. What was so interesting! Thanks for sharing the latest update on the most lovely baby quilt on the planet ever!

Cryptic Crosswords drive me crazy – I find you have to get into the mindset of each individual compiler. On the other hand – I do regular crosswords every day. DH gave me a multi-foot long crossword for Christmas, which I’ve just started. By the way, I think Mr. Quilt Obsession’s method of wrapping is completely logical ;-)Please think kind thoughts for our Gracie tomorrow (15 year old female DSH) – she’s going in for tests with regard to her heart murmur.

I love all sorts of word things, but cryptic acrostics are beyond me! Cute wrapping, though, if not very cryptic. 😉

Cathi, Love the way your top is coming together. I too am working on a hand pieced top using Inklingo although I’m afraid it’s going to be in the “progress” stage for some time. Love the inspiration you give me to stitch on! Rae Ann
