OMG that Persian Tiles pattern is as if I was having a beautiful dream while tripping on acid and I knew from the pattern that all will be well, and all will be well, and all manner of things will be well.
It was a big undertaking! I was very tired of it by the time I was putting the border on. Then I found out it wasn't quite big enough for our queen bed and I had to put border after border row on!
I always love people talking about how their parents or grandparents remember "horse and buggy" or "horse and wagon" or "stagecoach" times.... and I am like, "Of course you do, that was still going on in the 1980s when I was growing up!" because I grew up in a family of horses, wagons, buggies, and stagecoaches. We used to run an kind of old west town/tourist spot... so it was kind of like growing up in an old west town!
WOW! complex and makes you want to search it Go You!
I remember in the '40s Farmer next door had big heavy horses used the to pull haying equipment
they cut with a tractor but used the horses for raking or kicking if it had rained then more raking into rows then it had to be "tedded" into small stacks by hand! then the tedded would be pitched on to a truck - by hand again hay would be taken to the barn put in the mow - by hand again
doing hay was labor intensive when they worked on our field my mother would have cold water and ice tea in the ice box (yes no electric frig - this was rural during WW2)

Thanks. It was neat all the different looks the octagons had just with different colors of yarn used. I was impressed by the pattern.
