The fear of an unfinished object is real. It is not that the UFO will physically attack me but the passive aggressive nature of the silent taunts can be pretty traumatic.

Paul: Very Halloween
Me: I am calling it Caterpillar in my Curry
Paul: WHAT!!!
Me: I am calling it Caterpillar in my Curry
Paul: WHAT!!!
Me: If you can have a wasp in your hat then why can I not have a caterpillar in my curry?
Paul: You mean "a bee in your bonnet"?
Me: Yup, that's what I said.

Paul: But why is there a caterpillar in your curry?
Me: Because the orange curry has yellow/black caterpillar in it...
Paul: You make it sound yummy.
Me: Well, it is what it is.

Paul: What happens to this one?
Me: I can give it to Jeanne for her charity quilt drive or save it for Nancy's baby boy due in December. Plenty of babies in need of quilts.
Paul: Isn't it kinda dull for a baby quilt?

Me: It is. That is why I chose this Charlie Brown backing.
Paul: Now that is cute.
Paul: Now that is cute.

The lucky winner of the giveaway is #5. Congratulations SandyPA.
Looks like your caterpillar boogied through the Easter dye pots on his way to your tasty curry.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good giggle.
You are so creative with some of your names - so fun! I am envious of your flat binding. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but mine always seem to be wavy, even though I use a walking foot.
ReplyDeleteI really really like the last quilt - RSC#2 with the yellow and black & white fabric. Really pops!
Love the caterpillar quilt, Preeti - what a wonderful way to use up those strip sets! The Charlie Brown backing is perfect, too. All of your yellow blocks are fun to see - so many pretty shades of yellow!
ReplyDeleteWonderful caterpillar quilt Preeti, I do enjoy the conversations with you and Paul. Love the backing fabric, Snoopy has been a love of mine for many years 😊. Your yellow blocks are beautiful, love that last group of blocks especially Charlie Brown and Snoopy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to SandyPA on her prize win and congrats to YOU on using up those leftover bits SEW quickly!!!
ReplyDeletethat is so cute! and I love all the yellow blocks too
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a few scraps left of the Charlie Brown backing to put in the next Scrap Vortex. Lots of fun fabrics in your blocks.
ReplyDeletePat
Very pretty! I just found your blog! I love the caterpiller quilt! I think it is perfect for a boy!
ReplyDeleteI love curry, but am not sure I'd want caterpillars in it. :) Your quilt is a great use of the left over bits and will make a great baby boy quilt. Love your yellow blocks, too.
ReplyDeleteYou have a talent for coming up with names! Love the yellow blocks!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a creative imagination!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is pretty on the top and cute on the back!
ReplyDeleteWonderful picket fence blocks. I can tell you are reveling in the yellow. It was a long wait wasn't it.
I always enjoy your posts Preeti. You did an amazing job turning all those leftover bits into a fun quilt. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteLove your names! I am not sure I want a caterpillar in my curry, unless it's a fun quilt! Love your yellow RSC blocks, too!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a clever use of scraps! But those picket stars steal my heart (if not the show). You’ve been a busy girl! xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts all--I especially like the yellow-black piece such cute "I Spy-ish" fabrics. Nice works Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt...and you can have a caterpillar in your curry if you like! I love the backing too and this will be a well loved quilt by whomever gets it!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Preeti! I love your quilt finish. To me, it looks like construction tape to secure an hazardous area. HAHA! That Snoopy backing is a fun addition to your Caterpillar in your Curry! {{Hugs}} Take care. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI don't think your quilt is plain at all. It makes me think of construction and traffic too. Love your fun names for your quilts.
ReplyDeleteClearly we have different approaches to UFOs! This turned out to be a lovely quilt, but it doesn't remind me of curry, but of construction. It kind of looks like traffic or construction signs, and the bright colors will be perfect for a child. Love the backing, and your yellow blocks shine.
ReplyDeleteI really like your Picket Star blocks. Nicely done. And, I still like your repurposed strips. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever name for your quilt. Like you, I love to use my extras and leftovers for baby quilts because it keeps the fabric moving. {Not that I ever tell the parents it's scraps or leftovers.} In fact, I usually plan to sew enough extras for a baby quilt. Glad we agree on that.
ReplyDeleteAnd cute fabric on the back helps.
What a great result for using "leftovers". I thought at first of road or construction signs... but caterpillars also works ;)
ReplyDeleteThough the best to me again is your way with words: The fear of an unfinished object is real. It is not that the UFO will physically attack me but the passive aggressive nature... -- LOOOOOOVE - this is the best way to describe the feeling!
You are just the genius of whipping up cool quilts out of the debris left behind from former projects! Also, all this talk of curry is making me hungry, but I'm not sure I'm hungry enough to eat caterpillars. Time will tell; it's already past 2 PM and I haven't had lunch yet. There's a beetle outside my window that's starting to look pretty tasty... I'm adoring your RSC blocks as well.
ReplyDeleteLook at you - taming the scraps before they take over!! love it!! ( also kinda reminds of traffic signs... can not tell you why but that is what came to mind)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even looked and didn't realize that I was missing yellow. Your yellows are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA great way to use up the leftovers. And that backing fabric is amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you used your leftovers into a very neat quilt. The yellow blocks are amazing. I really love those Picket Stars!
ReplyDeleteHi Preeti, I just had to read about a caterpillar in my curry - too intriguing to miss! I really love the fabrics in your Picket Star quilt block. They are really stunning! Take care.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is fun and the name you picked is absolutely adorable! Love all your yellow scrappy blocks. Hope you've gotten in lots of stitching time this week.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of leftovers Preeti!
