365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Kittygons Coming Together
Day 298: Although I'm still 100 shy of having cut all the lime green background pieces, I've begun assembling the kittygons after spending most of an hour yesterday with all of them laid out on the floor. My goal was to have no two identical small hexagons in proximity to one another, no two prints appearing in the same position near each other, and to prevent "clumping" of the same print, i.e., to place them in a fairly even distribution throughout the quilt. That was a pretty tall order, and I'm not sure I filled it to the letter, but that's what scrap quilts are about: randomness. One cannot achieve randomness by making it conform to rules because enforced randomness is not truly random by its very definition. I'm sure some day when I'm curled up under the Kittygons during a power outage, I'll find order somewhere in the chaos. I will undoubtedly cuss a vividly blue streak before I laugh and say to myself, "How on earth did I miss that?"
