Cacophony of Cups is done!
I have to get my phone charged up so I can take a pic of it, but it is all done and ready to go home with Laura, our babysitter. She's a really neat kid (young woman) and has been our sitter for about 5 years.
I completed another hexagon flower and started another. I now have 7 whole flowers and the 8th has all of its petals but they need to be attached to each other now. I'm trying to decide if I'd like to stitch them all together like the kit had them done or to put a border between the flowers to differentiate them from one another. I'm not sure I liked it the other way.
You'd think I'd have liked it, since I like busy designs, but I feel it made the quilt sort of confusing. I think when a shape has more than four sides, it gets to be a bit much visually. If they had been all put together singly, maybe it wouldn't have seemed so odd to me, but the designer put them together as flowers then stitched the flowers to one another.
Actually, I have an idea. I'm going to look up the lyrics to Anywhere I Wander, since that's what I've decided to call this one, and I'm going to stitch them along the "paths" between the flowers.
Anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam
Till I'm in the arms of my darling again
My heart will find no home
Anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam
Her arms were warm as they welcomed me
Her eyes were a fire bright
And then I knew that my path must be
Through the ever haunted night
Anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam
Till I'm in the arms of my darling again
My heart will find no home
Anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam
Her voice was oh such a soft caress
Of love it gently told
And in her smile was the tenderness
I may never more behold
Anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam
Till I'm in the arms of my darling again
My heart will find no home
Anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam
Love it. I think that'll be nice for a Grandmother's Flower Garden baby blanket. The song was written by Frank Loesser. Back in the time when the song was written, your darling could've been your sweetheart, yes, but also your mother. I think I'm looking forward to this little girl. Still kinda wish she was a boy, but it's not my kid, so... Yeah. I think I'll spoil her a little.
