Chameleon Conspiracy

This doesn't look too different from yesterday...but I did add borders. In the end, after quilting it will be trimmed to 72 inches square. How did that happen? Not by planning. I didn't want the twigs extending over the top row of chameleons because that seemed like bad feng shui. That meant I couldn't have them in the bottom row. That means the twig row will get quilted into the top and bottom borders.

Also, the quilt name is Chameleon Conspiracy. It turns out that there is no collective name for chameleons, because like seahorses, they are solitary creatures. However, at some point a fellow tried to call a group of chameleons a starship, but then took it back...admitting he made it up because he could. So now it is clear to me, that if you ever see a group of chameleons, you have probably found a conspiracy.

The chameleons are so awesome. Obviously, they’re conspiring to take over a starship.
