Back of a quilted protest sign, with a pocket near the bottom holding wipes and masks. At the top of the sign is a print out of responses should someone be stopped by the police, recommended by the Mastodon user mentioned in the post. Those responses read -

Auditioning some sashing and setting squares. This is fabric I have on hand, but I’m not completely sold on it (or on the idea of sashing at all) Also, I might need to break my color scheme for a couple of those cats’ ears, they are disappearing so badly #Quilting #WIP

Four wonkily pieced cat blocks with sashing on a design wall. Almost all the scrappy fabrics used to make the striped, long-necked cats are shades of teal green, except the cats have pink noses and white chins and pink and white have been used to make wonky star setting squares in between the teal sashings. Each block is outlined in a black and white stripe, too, just to add a bit of contrast.

spaced pink and red Dresdens, in two

A Victorian looking lamppost with a cross bar that holds a long felt Advent calendar shaped like Kermit in a top hat from A Muppet Christmas Carol. His top hat is exaggeratedly tall and has been machine embroidered in white with the phrase "there's only ... more sleeps 'til Christmas" with space for a felt number to be attached between two blanket stitched holly leaves. The number 24 in s displayed in the calendar while a pile of white circles with additional numbers is on a small table nearby.

Cat-themed quilt top, shown in full on a design wall. The fully pieced design consists of 4 cats and three Snowball Star blocks, laid out as follows, from the top - the top center is a brown striped kitten with pink nose with a tall straight tail and four white-socked feet. Slightly below and to each side of the kitten are very large Snowball Star blocks, the left is yellow like the sun and the right is various shades of grey like a pockmarked moon. Below the sun is a large dark grey cat, pieced as if it’s sitting tall on its haunches. A similarly posed black cat is below the moon block. Between them is a grey striped cat with salmon colored nose who appears to be peeking over the top of a blue Snowball Star block. The grey striped cat’s tail hangs down from behind the blue block and meets with the tails of the grey and black cats behind a small pink heart. The background of the quilt is a deep blue galaxy print fabric, giving the feeling of all these cats existing among the sun, moon and stars.

From top to bottom the half-finished blocks are 1) a brownish striped kitten with white socks and face; 2) a giant yellow sun and a giant grey moon; 3) a dark grey striped cat that is hanging on a giant light blue star; and 4) a very large taupe grey cat to the left of the blue star and a similarly sized black cat to the right. A few of these blocks are connected with a dark blue starry galaxy print, but there’s more work to be done.

A red, green, white and black quilt, themed in support of Palestine, displayed in full. The quilt design itself is a series of rows, smaller in width towards the top and bottom, with each row made up of wonky half-square triangle blocks. Green HSTs are in the center of each row, flanked by red HSTs and low-volume HSTs on the left and right sides. Every block is scrappy and each row has a different layout, so the red and green sections appear to flow in a wonky river down the quilt. Near the top there is a row of large blocky letters pieced in black on low-volume prints that reads “FREE GAZA”.

A pieced and appliquéd quilt, shown in full, resembling the cover of the Sesame Street Golden Book titled The Monster at the End of this Book. Along the right side of the quilt is a single wide piece of blue fabric that reaches from the top to the bottom, with a minimalist Grover face appliquéd near the bottom. The book cover featured Grover standing near a brick wall, somewhere on Sesame Street given a street sign in the background; the bricks are in various shades of pink, orange, red, yellow, fuchsia and purple. Those bricks have been replicated in scrappy pieced fabrics on the quilt (the street sign isn’t part of the quilt design.) On the book cover’s brick wall is a framed green sign with the book title. This sign has been replicated on the quilt in a more minimalist form and reads “the MONSTER at the End of this QUILT / A Little Whimzie Quilt.” Also on the book cover is a speech bubble near Grover that reads, “Hello, everybodeee!” This speech bubble doesn’t appear on the quilt, but his greeting in the inspiration for the quilt’s name.

It’s made up of 36 improv snowball blocks in a 6x6 grid, starting dark green in the lower left corner, moving to lime green as the blocks increase diagonally, with the remainder of the bottom left half filled out by red blocks (with occasional black corners to represent seeds.) The top right half of the quilt is similar improv snowball blocks sewn from low volume prints.
