Hummingbirds and cheesecake

What do they have in common? Well they are both sweet but other than that .....NOTHING.

Let me start by saying....I am such a liar.
I SAID I would post again last Sunday or Monday and I DIDN'T.
I SAID I would have that new quilt laid out then too but I DIDN'T.

I went to my girlfriend Denise' house last week and stayed until Monday morning. Her parents live in a sort of wooded area and they always have lots of wildlife there. They feed them all. I got a real close up look at some deer but didn't get a picture of them. I did get some pictures of the sweet hummingbirds though.We had a nice time together and stayed up late most every night just talking.
MONDAY MORNING:
I packed up my car and hugged her goodbye and she got into her car and drove out of the driveway to leave for work and I turned the key in my ignition and NOTHING HAPPENED....oh crap! My car wouldn't start and she was gone and she has no cell phone and I can't get back into her house and I don't know any of her neighbors and it is 8:15am.....sigh. (How's THAT for a run on sentence!) I tryed a couple neighbors but after waking the one lady up I decided to go a different route. I called her mother and asked how far Denise's brother lived from her. She said 10 minutes. I explained my problem and she gave me his number to try to call him. I had nothing to write with so I did what any self respecting woman would do....I wrote the number in the dust on my dash! (YIPES, maybe I better clean this thing). I woke him up too. He came to my rescue though and an hour later I was on my way. It is almost a 4 hour drive. I got home to no electricity and my husband was starting up the generator. We finally got our power back on Wed afternoon. I was very glad we had the generator so we didn't lose our food and we had a light and a small tv (but no cable). It was expensive to run though and very loud. My husband left Wed to go to a friend's house for a few days and just came home today. I made him this:
He made me ribs in the smoker and I made fresh cole slaw and corn on the cob and we all ate dinner together for a change (my daughter is usually not here to eat with us.)
I do have all my blocks sewed together and trimmed but I am NOT liking the way it is looking. I think there is too much contrast in the different fabrics so I am going to try a few other lay outs tomorrow when I have more energy. This is the way it looks (part of it)
What do you think? Too much contrast?
