Not just black and white, but light and dark. The magic in contrast.
If you squint your eyes, less colorful.

I changed up a few pairs with 2 that I had leftover from something else. I remember talking about this concept way back, but hell, if I could remember where it was... does it matter? It stays with me. And it softens contrast while holding the pattern. It rocks between appearing and disappearing. It is so true.
So today I call this 12. For the 12 Pairings. Until tonight when it will become 13. I was going to save up a bunch of pairs over time and then sew them together in blocks but I decided I like the way it unfolds day by day. Of course I might just shift the placement now and then. A ripple in time. This cloth will become big, behind the scene. I will show it now and then. Simple and not much more to say , except 2 1/2" squares, until it needs a backing.
We are painting the dark brown wall on the porch white, to reflect more light.
And the Dye Po(e)t is waiting.

I can just look at it for a while. Probably till fall. I think I will try to build some sort of outdoor fire pit. There is no wood-stove yet, just that shitty fireplace insert and a not so functional chimney. Getting some estimates. If it costs too much we will just use the heat. It's ok. Maybe give the wood away to someone who needs it. Finish some blankets...maybe wait till next year.
I think it's time to review where I am on large cloth making.
See ya Wednesday. Have a good holiday if that's your thing, but really not sure why anyone is celebrating America at the moment. Yup, that's what I'm thinking.
