More before and after pictures with this quartet. I’ve been having fun finding their before shots.

First up.

The after shot. The centre of this one makes me think of a palm tree.

The second, with its before shot.

And its after shot. This one makes me think of a big flower.

The third in this group.

Its after shot. A pinwheel? Maybe.

And the final one of this group.

Its after shot. And this one definitely makes me think of a pinwheel.

There have been times the past week when it seemed like the pile of butterfly kaleidoscope stars still to be turned into huge hexagons had not been going down at all. But suddenly I can see the end approaching and I’m thinking that maybe by the end of next week I’ll be done with this stage of turning the butterfly kaleidoscope stars into a quilt top. Maybe. If I don’t get distracted by another impossible to resist tiny Patchwork of the Crosses block.

And it seems like these four all are predominantly red or orange. I think I had loosely sorted the stars into groups by colour so I will hit groups of similar ones as I work on getting them surrounded by their setting diamonds.

We have had some thunderstorms the past few days. Yesterday there was some thunder rumbling in the distance and the rain we got was unbelievable. It came down very heavily for quite a while. And I think it inspired today’s ‘toon …

“Quite the Storm.”

And what’s a kitty to do on a rainy, stormy day? Sleep. Jake found a big pal to curl up with.

While Baxter sprawled on the couch.
