Apparently, Buddy did not approve of the flamingo I laid out with pink scraps. I felt his art critique was unnecessarily harsh and destructive. Molly suggested that given the arrangement of splotches Buddy chose for his fur coat, one would be wise to ignore Buddy completely.
I would like to thank everyone for the comments on the August Giveaway post. This is quite a bit of fun for me and lets me enjoy my favorite part of quilt making...wallowing in the stash.
As you might expect though, Molly has some comments on some of the comments. Molly would like to first point out that SHE makes up the rules, not the people participating. So there is no rule that if you won previously that you can't enter to win again. If someone notes in their comment that they have won before so don't count their comment as an entry, Molly says she will respect the person's wishes, but she is adding a demerit to that person's permanent file. Offers to send her staff (me) fabric, receive TWO demerits to the permanent record. And asking for Buddy to make the fabric selection generates THREE demerits on the permanent record offset by four pity points.

Oh dear! I had no idea how close I came to a whole stack of demerits instead of just the one.
My poor poor permanent record...
(oh, and when I saw that pic, I thought that Buddy was trying to hoard all the pinks for himself!)
Unless she said so, maybe Buddy's demolishing your flamingo wasn't a comment on the flamingo itself. Perhaps he thought he was going to capture a real bird and was disappointed that it was fabric. Or not....
Molly is a tough customer. Smitty reserves all his demerits for squirrels.
Maybe Molly should reassess her critique of Buddy--he made his eyes match the pink fabric.
Like Susan, I noticed Buddy’s eyes. If I were Molly, I’d watch Buddy carefully before assessing his coat or his taste. He may be the devil’s spawn. Wow, now I’ve got several demerits and an almost-restraining order from Molly. I’m devastated. For the record, no quilter worth her salt will turn down scraps. We’re just being polite, but totally recognize Molly’s superior authority in these matters.
Well, I am properly chastised for the moment and hope that in time, the demerits on my record will be forgotten. Meanwhile, I guess any flamingos considering lying around should watch out for quality control managers.

Looks to me that Buddy was just having fun, and thought it was a great game! More, Mom!
Did Buddy rearrange it to a more pleasing look???
