OT; Sort of

Here is the answer for my wife's quest, last night, for a small head rest, for use while watching tv. It is made from some leftover quilting fabric and leftover batting, and is placed on the arm of the chair she uses when watching those late night movies and is snuggled down under a quilt. I think she had her head in the clouds when she asked for this, so here is my response.

If she didn't before, she surely does now. Looks like it'll do the job.

QUICK! Run to the basement and check for pods! It's not a nine patch and it isn't a 'solid'.

Nicely done John.

You have been watching way to many reruns of "The Invasion Of the Body Snatchers". That movie was the reason I never liked to eat Brussels Sprouts.

Oh yea of little faith. Check out the link below. There are many more of the non solid persuasion in my stash. But the solids are the current favorite.

Now eat you mush, and hush.

John, I surely hope that your neck pillow represents your best work. Decades ago - DH asked for a neck pillow and I made him one from whatever was the current project. The pillow fabric is fine soft corduroy. The shape is sort of a 'C' and gently holds his head and neck when he's watching tv while 'resting his eyes'. If I had had ANY idea that this was going to become his 'Wubbie' (is that the word?) I would at least have chosen a fabric / color that wasn't fire engine red. It has never and will never play nice with the tv room colors/fabrics but don't even think about suggesting a replacement. I hope clouds does okay with your decor. You may have to live with them forever. Polly Don't care for mush but I am World Class at cooking grits. Cheese grits, garlic grits, sausage grits? Yessss.

There is an old Sci-Fi movie from the 1950's by the name of "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" that used as it's premise, that an alien force from outer space brought large vegetable Pods to earth to capture the lives of earthlings while they slept and make them into drone slaves for these non earthlings. What application this reference to a very bad, but none the less entertaining black and white Sci-Fi movie has to the use of solid color fabric, is one that frankly I am missing, but maybe those that have had pods in their own basement have been have been taken over by an alien force, and infected with some form of a truer style of quilting. I think they might be the ones to watch out for. Either that, or I might have missed the memo on the "Correct" way to quilt. But then I have only been doing it for a couple of years now, and have still a lot to learn. But on the other hand, I am having fun doing what I do, and even though I might still be considered a novice, I thought that was the ultimate goal of this whole quilting thing. Correct me if I am misinformed on this matter.

Only way for the Pods to stay away from you is to NOT have a basement. I hear they're afraid of attics, so I'm safe.

John, there is no "correct" way to quilt. Do whatever pleases you and the ones you make quilts for. Personally, I'm glad there are so many ways to do it. While I'd be frustrated beyond belief trying to cut and match as perfectly as you do, I admire your skill in doing so. I'm sure you wouldn't much care for the "wilder" appliqué I like, and I really hate having to match small pieces and seams. Guess that's why I'm not a traditional quilter----tend more to the art side. It's a big world and room for all of us. Gen
