Once I had enough blocks for the first vertical row of the brown & blue Silent Garden top, I needed to make the alternate blocks for the second row. I got a little carried away and had joined them into that second row before I remembered to take pictures!
I’m not trying to choose favourites among these.
Because every time I think I know which is my favourite, I look at the next and it is.
This one is a little less dramatic than some of the others.
This one is also a bit less showy.
Then there’s this one though – and it’s my favourite of this group.
Although this one is a close runner-up.
As is this one. I have now graded all the seams, but didn’t take a photograph of the backs of these. I will try to remember to take a photos of the next set of alternate blocks I make for this top.
I had to do at least one Harpsichord block after all those alternate blocks.
And its back after the seams were graded and it was pressed.
“Alternate Reality”
This is something we rarely see. Very rarely. While they get along, they’re not really the types to curl up together. So when we saw this, we had to quickly grab our phones and take some photos.
Quilt Obsession 
The brown looks lovely. I hadn’t realized how much bigger Baxter is than Jake. Quite a difference!

I still struggle with the idea I’m making a brown quilt as brown is definitely my least favourite colour of them all, but I do like how this is starting to look.
Baxter is a very big Maine Coon cat who definitely dwarfs Jake, but when they play fight he’s quite gentle with Jake. I think he knows how much bigger he is.

Oh my Jake is so much smaller than Baxter! Nice to see them together to compare the size difference.
I love the blue/brown blocks. The colors look so nice together. It will make a beautiful quilt.

I’m still surprised at how much I do like the brown & blue blocks. I’m getting rather anxious to see the top finished. There’s a huge size difference, but Jake is not the least bit overmatched – when they get into play fights, he’s usually the winner.

All must be quiet in your “gardens” as the fur-men are taking a snooze. It would be a rare sight here too if there were warm bodies snuggling together, and not with mom.

I think that was after an afternoon of a lot of things they had to watch out on the roof garden so it was definitely rest time, but together? Almost unheard of!!
