Not Enough Postage

 I have finally built enough of the postage stamp quilt to realize that I do have enough blocks for a 60 inch by 60 inch quilt. When working with a quilt with lots of seams, it is always best to work on the smaller side because it gets so heavy and unwieldy. However, when confronted with a 60 by 60 quilt on the wall, I realize that there is no point to making a small quilt with lots of pieces. If you're happy, you must be doing something wrong (I think that's a variation of a Ted Lasso quote).

So yes, for a third time I am going to pause the building process and go back to cutting bits and making baby blocks. Will this make me unhappy in the future? Of course. Will it make me happy right now? Certainly! I think I have a new year's resolution in the making.

Starting a New Year

 I'm starting off the New Year by carrying on with the last. So yes, more Stonefield blocks (by Susan Smith) while I continue to slow walk the postage quilt.

I finished this one last year.

I didn't think I would start off the year as an unpaid staff turned whistleblower sparked by a comment suggesting Molly and Buddy deserve a raise.  CEOs typically earn a raise based on the profits of their business. As you can see from the photo above, a raise is unlikely to come from the profits of an enterprise with such an incomprehensible business model. So my bit of advice for the new year is not to believe publicity photos, and be very wary of signing contracts that involve kittens.
