“The careful reading, comprehending and retaining of what you read in this profile is extremely important, especially if it comes about that you find yourself seriously interested in me and do as instructed to initiate the interview process. I will be asking you questions where your answers will clearly show me whether or not you read, comprehended and retained what you read herein. It has become very clear to me that many who properly initiate the interview process did not read, but rather scanned, this profile and had they carefully read it, they would never have initiated the interview process for they would have discovered that they are NOT what I want or I am NOT what they want. So, if after you scan or quickly read this profile and believe yourself to be seriously interested, re-read this profile one or two more times very carefully before initiating the interview process. I spent a lot of time writing and revising this profile so that neither of us will needlessly waste each other’s time. If the careful reading, comprehending and retaining of what applies to you is not worth your time, then you are not worth my time, so please just go away! If I find that you did not carefully read, comprehend and retain the parts of this profile that pertain to you, I will simply state something like: “It is clear that you did not carefully read, comprehend and retain what I stated in my profile, you are now iggied.” Iggied means that you are put on my ignore list so that I no longer receive messages from you.”

Bonus: this idea would allow me to use up many of the scraps I incurred from doing a pattern with many curves. About 90% of the pieces you see here were cut from scrap. This pleases me immensely; I don’t like wasting fabric.

Some assembly required: Quilt #2 has been completely cut out. Most of the blocks have been assembled from their respective pieces, although not all; the next step is to finish that process. After that? Sew the blocks together in ever-increasing clumps, hoping the stupid thing actually fits together in the end.
