Nice Work
Nice work there Ed, glad to see your efforts paying off for you now!

if you were blending from the left, why did you continue the red and blue ropes to the left? The way everything looks matched up against your original tile, it doesn't look like its going to blend at all on the left side (which is the original side you were given). :(

Re: Those damned ropes...
Katherine,
That tile was titled "Flipped-flop", a play on words. I checked out a tile which was a right hand bordered tile and completed the tile which had no left border to be concerned with. Although that tile had the red and blue threads (laces) for me to bring down from the top, it would have been correct insofar as it was originally drawn and concieved but as usual, Eddie had to throw in the monkeywrench. You see, it was a right bordered tile that I had submitted and was correct as drawn but when I checked out another tile, almost exactly alike (except for those blue and red threads meeting an incoming border), I just couldn't resist the urge to flip the artwork and submit it for a second time, in reverse. I never thought it through to see those threads and felt sure that if it were used, it might appear as the missing (other), to a pair of whatever footwear it might have passed for! As I was in such a quandary when it came time to send it off to the quilt, I had no real inspiration to name it and thus gave it the true name, "flipped-flop". Ironically, the only thing that I got right on that tile was the apropos title! It's for a surety that I won't be doing that again. Anyway if the (first) "original" tile gets posted, you can deduct the bonus points. Don't you just abhor regression? By the way, thank you and Juz (above) for looking in on me... I was lucky enough to be able to qualify to contribute to Mainquilter's and the Photomanip quilts and I guess that only a hardhead would continue in his old ways! Forgive my obstinance with the promise that I'll leave the newbie tiles back there in yesterday and move ahead on the quilting. Again, nice to hear from you Katherine. Ed M. (LIE)

Re:A footnote...
Katherine (Whirlwind)-
Gee, it looks like the shoe fit! Those laces at the left that could've been trouble are running into the green conduit (or whatever) and it may be an illusion but the tile between the two that I did, almost provides a mirror for the original, in "Flipped-Flop"... See, good things DO happen!... Eddie.
