About the 300 th time I heard him say, "OH, you have just got to see her rump! It is round and smooth, straight across the hips, wide ... she is just beautiful! She's going to do a good job for you."
Finally, being the willful child I tend to be I said, "I have NEVER heard you wax poetic about the fine figure of a woman I am!"
LOL
Maybe he had been taught it was impolite to talk about a woman's backside. After all, what woman would want to be described as "straight across the hips, WIDE ..."?
Seriously, were these cows good breeding stock?

Well, my point was: In a developing heifer ... round, wide, straight across the hips .... that is a good thing and Dad was really enjoying his fine success at breeding good Limousin stock.
My point was .... I had all those same FINE qualities, and he never gushed about how good I looked! LOL
(he and I both knew that the good qualities in a heifer are not necessarily the best qualities for a woman, but it was fun to see him laugh hilariously, and to be able to laugh about some very obviousl facts of life) LOL

Dear Carla:
I think your problem is that your points do not match and it appears that your triangles are not the same size. In addition, your four squares aren't lined up as well. All points should be right at the edge of the next triangle so they appear to be flying in a circle.
Keep trying, it will come. Nobody was born a quilter; we all have had and continue to have trial and error. GG

Karla...I have to disagree with GG...sorry there girl.
I think your geese look just fine..in fact, I just love your second block you showed with the open seams...I'm doing the happy dance with you because next time I'll do my seams open too! I've never been shy about learning from someone else's lessons! :lol: :lol:

I'm not the least bit shy learning from others, either! In fact, that's what I base much of my success upon - the knowledge of others who are willing to share with me, and vice versa.
