Yes petals.. I've been one busy possum this weekend.. first finish was the 'tumbler quilt' (see previous post) I am happy with how it turned out, still debating about borders on it.. a good press made it about two inches wider, so hmmm dunno.. 
BUT I have been working on my "Worlds Fair" quilt.. this sucker has used up so much fabric, I am even surprised.. I have done about 132 blocks so far and I keep putting the 4 patches in around the wrong way.. which isn't a biggie, I can make them the right way, but sheesh, too much brain power being used.. And yes, I know one blocks is around the wrong way (doh @ Lissa) but its not joined, I just laid it out wrong and am way too lazy to take another pic to show off..
Of course, once the blocks were on the floor, the quilt inspector had to come and put his furry butt right in the middle.. and you'll agree with me, he does look super evil in this photo with his eyes shining.. yikes, scares me! Cosmo aka the bastard cat will be 2 on the 10/10 the kids have been wondering what we are going to buy him.. 
Thought I'd leave you with a pic of the birthday girl wearing her new collar.. doesn't she just look soooo happy?? might have something to do with a tough dog (in a polka dot collar no less) sitting on a cat scratching post??? Bailey the Wonderdog prolly wonders why she is outside and the bastard cat is inside... please ignore the long grass in the pic, poor ol' Dags every time he goes to mow it rains, he needs to go somewhere where they NEED rain, cause we sure dont here..
well on that happy note, off to do some ironing otherwise I'll be off to work all wrinkly...
bye possums..

Love your quilt but it's time to give Cadbury back please Coco,and choco are missing him too much plus there is too much space left be his absence here. my cats are all the same as yours (ex Breeder)
You know, if you keep showing these awesome quilts (with fabrics that I *love* - and many similar fabrics reside in my stash) I may have to go start something new...
Love your scrappy quilt! Your furry kids are great, too. Happy Birthday to Bailey the Wonderdog!
Wow this quilt is going to be so lovely when you're done. And your cat is such a cutie!
the world's fair quilt is impressive! as is the tumbler quilt below. nice job!!!
Huge weekend, two quilts!! well done Lissa...and it is our dog's birthday next week and we always celebrate! Tracey
I love your quilt! great job!
Happy birthday, Bailey. You look so cuuute in your collar!
I love the stage when you can lay the quilt out on the floor and see what it is exactly going to look like!
Lissa, Thanks for stoppin by my new blog, and thanks for your comments. Just checkin out your site, and boy am I liking those quilts you do. The scrappy quilts to me are the original way that quilts were done. They are my favorite too. I'll be back often, I like your sense of humor. Thanks again.
Send that darn rain this way!!! I've told you time and time again, bag it and send it here!
The kids found a green patch of grass here and are confused! Isn't grass yellow and dry????
Your quilts are beautiful. And so are the animals. Thanks for visiting my site.
It is nice to see you posting again Lissa, I have missed your posts and your wonderful sense of humour. Glad life is coming good for you. Your patchwork is great! Regards, Nessie
Your quilts are amazin! Love your pup - I have 3 of my own. Thanks for stopping by my blog, and good luck in the vintage button giveaway!
I love your quilt!! And, of course, a kitty inspector with yellow eyes is par for the course. How can one possibly make a quilt without a cat?
Gosh, your quilting is beautiful. I love the way the colours combine.
Thanks for visiting www.beforeourtime.com. Good luck in the draw!
Love this quilt.
GORGEOUS quilt! Absolutely gorgeous. I cannot sew worth a fig - by hand or on a machine, so I'm doubly impressed!
I just read your (Cosmos) comment over on Jodies blog, A great giggle was had..Love your himalayan. I used to have a birman and isnt that fluff awesome! I got the giggles about the use of "pompoms" as our new cat (tonk) has very prominent little pom poms of his own!! he he...
