The Inspiration:
My quilt was meant to be all purple, obviously, so it matched my room.
The Reality:
Finally, I've finished my quilt and put it on my bed. I gathered purple fabrics from every quilter I knew and cut out all the pieces LAST YEAR. It's actually much more purple than this picture shows. This is by far the most involved quilt I've ever done and have resolved to never do quilts with more than 6 pieces per block. And in piecing it last week I watched the entire first season of Leverage (fantastic!) and the entire first season of The Mentalist (equally fantastic!!.) And one half ofa season 3 of My Name Is Earl and at least 3 soccer matches. Not gonna lie, I'm not sure I can sleep near it. It's kinda some craziness. Old lady craziness. I'm going to try it tonight, but I don't need to have any more weird dreams. (Last night I dreamed I was going to go on a date with Patrick Jane, Simon Baker's cutie character on The Mentalist. He was riding a bicycle.) Even Randi and Earl are skeptical. I think it might make a very nice picnic quilt. Should I ever go on a picnic. Ever. It's ok, because I already have the pattern for this quilt, which would, of course be in purple and I think matches me and my room much better. And me and my momma are going to the fabric store this weekend. (Yes, the mattress is just on the floor. I couldn't make a decision about a bed so I said, screw it and just put the mattresses on the floor.)

I had to trick her. And it took a week.
My date:
He's not even remotely my type, but I do like the suit.
