Oh, right, recent #quiltprog but actually already out of date, these blocks are all over my desk now and I need to cut them neat and start arranging this weekend.

two Very Purple socks, one of which has an arm shoved in it to show the diamond pattern more clearly

new fabric storage shelf. wooden shelf bins are tie dye stuff (blanks on top dyed on bottom). bottom shelf of metal shelf is 1 of 3 sewing machines, my glass, and a bin of really old storage that I need to go through. everything else on that shelf except the obvious is quilting fabric &/or fixings

anyway this was a team effort (the effort was mostly the gposer) where my fiance suggested the painting and I went ".. okay I know he's a bitch to pose. but varis decapitating emet, assisted by emet, because the symbology goes hard" and then gpose buddy actually did it

LAYOUTS!!!! D< especially when. you have to last minute crazy man juggle because the pattern as written left you with four extra blocks and you're like "can I adjust the width to height so that these actually get used" (yes. yes I could.) #quiltprog

voice of a man with something deeply wrong with him: I'm going to hesitantly label it "possible." test layouts for two of the four gamebreakers (17 stroke "flute" and 16 stroke "turtle" on a grid equiv to 7x7 in, plus bonus dimension math). I will do hypothetical layouts for the next 2

#quiltprog back to it featuring my tie dye drying rack holding a bunch of post-ironing strips. this may become my work-appropriate pride desk quilt since I think DO WHATEVER BE WHOEVER is a little much for the office

me reading this paragraph: @s.qiouyi.lu is that you? (book is "imaginary languages: myths, utopias, fantasies, illusions, and linguistic fictions," originally by marina yaguello in French, translation by erik butler)
Etymologically, utopia means u-topos, or "non-place" - a site that does not exist. In literature, the idea extends to what might be called u-chronia: a time that doesn't exist. This duality opens space for u-glossia, "language that doesn't exist," to take hold.
