You get a wee bit hyper with lack of sleep, huh? I think the hot flashes were more like "power surges" for you. And the still shot made me giggle a little this morning. Thank you for that!

I like the quilt but can see why you wouldn't want the fabric sideways on it. The colors are beautiful. Taking off the borders, turning it and building up the top and/or bottom sounds like a great answer to the problem, and a good way to salvage the quilt. You are the queen of "making it work"! I wish I were half as clever as you!!!

Coffee Talk face is THE BEST. Hehe!

So many things done, way to channel the Power of Menopause!

I've seen a zillion Sidelights quilts at Linus, and you're right, it does make so much more sense with a panel. I like your plan to make it work. GO FOR IT.

Menopause, ugh.
A good idea to turn the fabric around, I probably wouldnt have, I am still at the stage of. "at least it is done"

That still at the beginning is like... the crazy neighbour lady who all the local kids think is actually a witch but she's just eccentric >:D

It's pretty amazing how much you reworked this quilt. It's SO much better now. The purple you added really makes everything pop, where it all kind of fades back into one thing in this version.

It looks like a good one if you had a really big print you wanted to show off, but if you're not feeling it, then you're not feeling it. Maybe you'll come back to it someday (or maybe you won't, but then you can put it in a box and mail it away or donate it off and someone else can love it).
