There are 10 fabrics in this grouping. I need to pick 7 of them for the little coloured squares on the outside of the black octagons in the Harpsichord Quilt blocks. The squares are only .75″ so I”m thinking the 7 fabrics on the left are the ones to choose as they’re a bit darker and/or brighter.
We had incredibly violent thunderstorms Thursday evening. There was non-stop, intense lightning and thunder that was so loud and so close that we could actually feel the vibration from it. The wind was wild and the rain was intense. I like storms, but I found this one a bit frightening. As it turns out, there were tornadoes in various areas around us, including one that did some fairly severe damage to homes to the north-west of the city. At one point, there was a tornado warning for Toronto. I do not remember us having tornado warnings before for the city.
Earlier in the day, Lester was hanging out on the windowsill and I got this picture of him. This has to be one of my favourite photos of him.

Smudge, stretched out on the couch. What I found interesting was that, during the storm, neither cat seemed to be the least bit upset by it. Smudge, in fact, slept through the whole thing. Lester too.


I heard that you had violent weather. We were watching the Red Sox play the Blue Jays last night and they said the dome was closed because of the violent weather and that tornadoes touched down just south of Toronto. You are right the cats don't look phased.

I also agree on the seven fabrics to the left. That sure was some storm. A small tree across the street from me split in two. Lots of rain today.

I agree on the 7 fabrics. Guess the storm was nothing to worry about if the cats were not upset. If tornadoes were headed your way, you would think they would at least wake up!

Love those colors together!We've had lots of thunder and some lightning here, but not as much rain as you'd think.Walking up from the parking lot to the hospital this week, I felt really stupid: it was raining and lightning, and there I was, walking a wet surface with a metal rod (umbrella) in my hand. I was just asking to be struck!

As soon as I read about your storms, I imagined the cats being frightened. Amazing that they were not, but they must have known they were quite secure.Love the bright colours in the fabric.
