Block number 4 has a mish mash of patches, very simple and quite bare compared to others. Many curves on this one.
I think this fish going for the line is comical.
All of the fans seem to keep the same stitch technique throughout the blades.

I took this pic last weekend down at Roxys camp. This giant box was left over from a crate of river rock that K had put on his house front, the pallet ending up in her fire pit. Now I don't know if I'm turning into some sort of pyromaniac or what, but these fires are getting intriguing. I especially took this one as it made me think of Jude from Spirit Cloth and her other blog What If where other cloth lovers are joining in with "what iffing" and discovering unconventional concepts and ideas. The box, when it took fire, looked like a form of eyelet to me as the ribs of it burned. Paula Hewiits Eyelet , Judith, Threadspiders Eyelet, Jeanneherself Eyelet and Aceys Eyelet are a few more examples of what "eyed" been seeing.
The irony is that today, Jude posted a "What If" call for the redesign / refashioning of CQ blocks, What If We Get Crazy and here, Redefining Crazy Quilting . I think I'm ready to do alittle What Iffing myself with the CQ concept and couldn't help but get alittle excited when I read her thoughts ( or did she channel mine?? too spooky) Hhhhhhmmmm, this could get fun around here. Maybe this'll light my fire! Nothing else seems to be working lately...
Are you tired of the vintageCQ yet?? Hang on, a few more to go and we're almost done...

Burning eyelets. hmm. Jude has intrigued me to with the non-cq cq idea. I am planning to show some cq quilts i made before i started blogging and realised that what i was doing was not *right* - although Im a bit nervous about going down that path
