A Labor Of Love

I admit it. The work of art below is based on code I’ve taken from Mandarin Design. The good thing is, Meg encourages people; the purpose of her blogx is to help the technically challenged learn tips and tricks to make interesting visuals. I ran out of steam before I got to the end of creating this quilt (it had 70 squares). If you find yourself left off, please don’t take it personally. In some cases I needed to scour for images and resize them, and since I’ve been at it for eight hours and haven’t eaten, I thought it wise to call it a day. Update: I continued working on this after dinner. The quilt is now complete with 60 squares.

    Oh, Kathryn.

    It’s beautiful! I think you can legitimately call yourself a quilter now. You’ll be able to walk with an air of belongingness the next time we visit the museum.

    Really, though: I’m terribly impressed. (And flattered, too. You’re wonderfully kind, and I love the mini-photo.)

    Kathryn: I hope this post finds you ensconsced in the heart of love, peace, and joy. Beautiful quilt! I thought about doing one, after visiting Mandaring for a few tips, and was daunted by the time it would take. Thanks for doing it, and thanks for including me. I hope to reference it in my blog soon! Thanks for noting the article on mindfulness also. All the best,

    Nacho

    Oh, I’m on a quilt!!!

    I love it. The really cool part is that I can look at yours and see Tish, Fred, Blog Sisters, and others in common. And now if I need to add a square I can just use yours. Like you say, it’s not always easy to find that picture. I’m coming back later to start clicking.

    I’m there too! Thanks Katherine, I’m delighted and it’s a great idea. Will mention it on the Blaug as soon as I write another post. All the very best to you. A warm quilt to cuddle under on the coming winter nights.

    What a great idea! Thanks so much for including V.N. I feel properly enmeshed and connected now as never before. And this is so much more tempting than a blogroll to go exploring in (or from) . . .
