I didn't notice until I took this picture that my top right seam is crooked. I knew the entire back was, but that is pretty funny. I use a rotary cutter to slice all my fabrics but I work on a picnic table that has uneven wood slats on top. That's probably why everything is crooked. It makes me look forward to the cooler weather when I can go inside to sew.
When I was sewing this I had no idea what I wanted it to look like. I decided to use the small squares from the front where the brown border intersects on the back too. From there everything else came together. Like the grey strip that turns to white. I randomly sewed those two pieces together and it just so happens that they matched exactly at another seam.
The same thing happened with the top strips. I was not going to use the "Flea Market Friends" fabric but it was exactly the length I needed to finish the back. Coincidence?
I do not believe in coincidence. My sister told me something she had hear about coincidence once. To coincide means there are two factors to create the situation. One is explainable, the other is not. However, no one questions what is not explained in a coincidence. You know, the factor that makes it all come together. She asked me, "Have you ever considered it to be God?"
I have not, but ever since then I would like to. There is something about it that makes me feel quite contented.
