		<description><![CDATA[All done (previously mentioned here). And, yup, that is actually what I named the quilt. I think it came to me during a Mythbusters episode.
A perfect compliment to the ever-present grey out the window.

A close up of the quilting. A water ripple like pattern, but circular and follows the various color rings.

First mentioned here. I took all the leftover pixels from these quilts (and a couple more that aren&#8217;t in the stacks) and sewed them together following a rough sketch.

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-4912" href="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/2012/01/16/when-your-pixel-palette-explodes/img_6225/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4912" title="IMG_6225" src="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_6225.jpg" alt="IMG_6225" width="400" height="236" /></a></p>
<p>First mentioned <a href="http://t.co/0Wsb3Fb4" target="_blank">here</a>. I took all the <a href="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/2011/05/04/numbers/" target="_blank">leftover pixels from these quilts</a> (and a couple more that aren&#8217;t in the stacks) and sewed them together following a rough sketch. It measures 72&#8243; square and is all <a href="http://www.robertkaufman.com/">Robert Kaufman Kona</a>. Large majority of the pieces are 1&#8243; x 1&#8243;. Largest pieces are 1&#8243; x 6&#8243; and 2&#8243; x 2&#8243;.</p>
<p>This is for our house and won&#8217;t be turned into a pattern. It&#8217;s very similar to the <a href="http://shop.carolinapatchworks.com/product/no-013-mrs-roy-g-biv" target="_blank">original Mrs. Roy G. Biv pattern</a> if you want to make one and need some guidance. And someone asked about a pattern for <a href="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/2012/01/11/the-technicolor-yawn-bedroom/" target="_blank">The Technicolor Yawn Bedroom</a>. No pattern for that one but <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32104094@N03/6198910174/" target="_blank">Volume</a> in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1607052148">Scrap Republic</a> is very, very similar.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll take some closeups once the quilting is done&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sean wasn&#8217;t keen on calling it <em>When Rainbows Vomit</em>&#8230; so <em>Technicolor Yawn</em> was his replacement suggestion. Means the same thing but much more&#8230; ahem&#8230; tasteful? Maybe we should have gone with <em>The Robert Kaufman Kona Color Card: Quilt Version</em>. That&#8217;s basically what it is.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-4894" href="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/2012/01/11/the-technicolor-yawn-bedroom/img_5984-2/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4894" title="IMG_5984" src="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_5984.jpg" alt="IMG_5984" width="400" height="466" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/2011/06/18/megapixel-guaranteed-insomnia/" target="_blank">The unquilted, but full picture version is here</a>.</p>
<p>Sean tried to nix the throw pillows. I won.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-4892" href="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/2012/01/11/the-technicolor-yawn-bedroom/img_5975/"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-4892" title="IMG_5975" src="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_5975-1024x639.jpg" alt="IMG_5975" width="400" /></a></p>
<p>While it might be a bit bright for some, I love it. And it&#8217;s more than perfect for our usually dark bedroom (the back of the house is much, much, much brighter).</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-4897" href="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/2012/01/11/the-technicolor-yawn-bedroom/img_5999/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4897" title="IMG_5999" src="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_5999.jpg" alt="IMG_5999" width="400" height="215" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://quiltingismytherapy.com/">Angela Walters</a> quilted Megapixel. It&#8217;s curves are simply dreamy.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-4898" href="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/2012/01/11/the-technicolor-yawn-bedroom/img_5747/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4898" title="IMG_5747" src="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_5747.jpg" alt="IMG_5747" width="400" height="265" /></a></p>

<p>Since I freeze every night during winter (winter being defined as September through June) I had to make an extra little something for my side of the bed. While it isn&#8217;t a pattern in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1607052148" target="_blank">Scrap Republic</a>, it&#8217;s built on many of the same principles.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-4893" href="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/2012/01/11/the-technicolor-yawn-bedroom/img_5977/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4893" title="IMG_5977" src="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_5977.jpg" alt="IMG_5977" width="400" height="741" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m working on some more rainbow loveliness now. Pictures &#8230; soon.</p>
<p><em>Disclaimer: I hate the wall color in our room. Please ignore it&#8217;s hideousness. </em></p>

<p>I&#8217;ve got to piece some shams, iron it all and then it&#8217;s off to <a href="http://quiltingismytherapy.com/" target="_blank">Angela</a>!</p>
<p>Fabrics? <a href="http://www.robertkaufman.com">Robert Kaufman&#8217;s</a> Konas of course (I think I referred to this as Kona-O-Rama on Twitter a couple times). Just a couple leftovers from the 279 cuts of fabric that came in for <a href="http://carolinapatchworks.com/blog/2011/05/04/numbers/" target="_blank">these projects</a>.</p>
<p>Now that the quilt top is almost done, I really, really have the itch to paint our room. I would describe the color as, umm, <em>not my style</em>. It&#8217;s just a bad, bad dream. No wall should ever be that color. I got two postcards from Sherwin-Williams this week. It&#8217;s a sign.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sean says I&#8217;m failing at this whole corporate identity thing.</p>
<p>Yeah, so everything looks different. <strong>Again</strong>.</p>
<p>I like change.</p>
<p>I stare at work related stuff for so many hours a week that honestly? I get sick of looking at it.</p>
<p>Did I change just to have something different to look at?</p>
<p>Did I change to have the logo match the 7,293,288 pixel quilts I&#8217;ve made?</p>
<p>Or did I change just so I could justify buying this couch for corporate headquarters? <em>(Though I changed the art before I found the couch&#8230; hmm&#8230;)</em></p>
