For my birthday I received a new pair of boots. Somehow the box was left on the floor. The cats quickly decided to make it their own :-) Here's Tchai resting in the box. Is it a penalty box? A place for time out? Or a wonderful new cat bed?
You can tell that Cushy is quite at ease in the box despite the fact that he looks a tad cramped. Silly cats :-)

Setting Possibilities
Here are 3 setting possibilities. I'd love to hear your opinions and suggestions!
For the first one I simply blended the colors across the quilt top, warm on one side, cool on the other.

Chimaera
At last they are all stitched! Now to figure out what the order will be. Should I blend the background colors across the quilt? Or have them all facing towards the center of the quilt? Should the larger ones be on the bottom? Should I intersperse the cool and warm colored backgrounds? Check back and I'll show a variety of possibilities. You can help me decide :-)

Jonathan's Wedding
I have one sister and she had one child, Jonathan. We went to his wedding in Maine last week and Pierre took a few pictures.

Jake, Elisia and me waiting for the wedding to begin. An outdoor wedding on the coast of Maine is a very chancy thing, but the weather was sunny and perfect if you don't mind a little wind.
The mother of the bride followed by my sister, Cindi and her husband Jim.

The wedding took place at Sebasco Estates, down the peninsula from Bath and quite near Popham if you're familiar with Maine. My great grandfather built the resort including the 9 hole golf course, salt water swimming pool and many of the cottages. It has long since been sold and resold, renovated and re-renovated, but there are parts that still feel like the place I spent so many summers as a girl. It was fun to see it again, especially for such a happy occasion.

Penguins!
I made this quilt using a magazine pattern as inspiration, but changed the shape of the beak and the position of the eyes. The setting is my variation also (although I certainly did not invent stars in the sashing!) The quilt was a 20th birthday gift to Elisia. Her birthday was in June, but it promptly went to her new apartment and I couldn't find the picture I had taken so I convinced her to bring it home one more time for a photo op.
