After watching the presidential debates and hearing the line
"We have some bad hombres and we're going to get them out"
I went straight to my stash and got out some ombres! I had to beg for a few more from my blog readers, but in this instance I didn't mind. Thank you!
The stars in the sashing made it a little more patriotic.
I wasn't keen on either candidate, so I'm calling this quilt "2 bad ombres"
Here it is after washing.
My instagram for this week.
We have had a few sunny days, only minimal flooding at the business and we are ready for more wintery weather.
Take care and have a wonderful weekend!
How very clever of you. I love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for lightening the day!
ReplyDeleteNo matter how bad things are, we quilters have a sense of humor! Love your take on the hombres comment!
ReplyDeleteI was going to work on my Hillary quilt today, but the mood is a bit too dark. Your post made me smile--thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is very clever. It will be a good reminder of this weird year.
ReplyDeleteHow appropriate!
ReplyDeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteI needed a good laugh! Makes me want to break out the ombres. : )
ReplyDeleteSo appropriate! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have some good bad ombrés :0) Love the one in the bottom left corner. Also love the crinkliness of it after washing.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece. I just turned on the tv to see some of the "show" and then saw this post. *vbg*

Oh this is just too good. I love your sense of humor and every part of that little quilt. You can now add this to your "reason I quilt" presentations.
ReplyDeleteI wondered what you needed ombre prints for. Very clever play on words/fabrics.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteGreat political memory of today/ this past year. That Presidents fabric is very cool.
ReplyDeleteLove it and the name.
ReplyDeleteLove it! What a great idea and a great sense of humor!

Even though I am a Trump supporter...and not afraid to say so...you gave me what I'm sure will be the best laugh of the day. Thanks, Lori....
ReplyDeleteLove your mini quilt! "After the rain , come the sun", we say in France...
ReplyDeleteAh, Lori, so clever and fun--love when you do these little quilts that capture a feeling, a moment in time. Hmmm, I wonder how many ombres I have??? Not nearly this many I'd guess.
ReplyDeleteYou made a very creative documentation of 2016.
ReplyDeleteclever little quilt Lori!
ReplyDeleteLori,
ReplyDeleteLove it!

Love that quilt. I like the president fabric too. Wish I had some of that!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! It turned out wonderfully. I love a quilt with history and this one has it on day one of it's "life." Adorable!
