Rock the Rhombi
How ironic the most difficult quilt to make is called tumbling blocks. If you've ever made one you know it tumbles together, not down.
"This is the place you need a third hand,” the nice woman on You Tube says as she does it flawlessly with two.
She knows even the hardest quilt tops have to be perfect. Otherwise what's the point (points!)—oh lookee here, see? I can't sew either?
Quilters never talk about things falling apart. That's for poets.
And to think you've always been told a three corner tear couldn't be mended.

Fine points, well made! (--so Dianne: do poets write with one of their two hands, or do they write exclusively with their third hands?)
Good work!
The quilters and the poets... I enjoyed it.
Handiwork on both counts, always praiseworthy.
Love this piece.
"Quilters never talk about things falling apart."
Seams from my childhood.

Yep this brought Tumbling Dice to mind. And all us poets. Please mend my tear.*
Thank you all.
Time (typo) Tim, Mr Jagger and I share a birthday. Maybe he quilts.
Fun. *
