I have a quilting question! That being, I’ve never quilted before but I have a gazillion squares of fabric (thrift store whoops, didn’t realize it was cut) and I need a new quilt. If I’m trying to do a basic “I want a warm blanket” quilt, would I just… sew a checkerboard of the squares together, then get batting and idk, a piece of matching size fabric for the back? I have a sewing machine but nothing specifically quilting I don’t think.

Hi! You've got the basics down, that pretty much is the bare bones of quilting and if you want to start with just that you absolutely can. There are some steps that can make the finished product a little less lumpy and/or a little more durable (ironing, basting, stuff like that) but off the top of my head I don't have specific resources to point you toward? Let me see if any of the quilt youtubers I watch have some videos on it okay this quilter doesn't seem to have a "never made any sort of quilt before" tutorial but once you've made one quilt I recommend Just Get It Done Quilts (or if you want to be particularly ambitious about your skills, before your first quilt? I found a lot of technique advice only made sense to me after I'd made my first quilt, but you might learn differently than I do). She has a lot of pattern videos and a lot of technique videos. This seems like a decent very detailed step-by-step guide to making a quilt from start to finish (I just glanced at it), but I will tell you one thing that most of the guides you will read will disagree with: If you are making a simple patchwork for your first quilt (aka a checkerboard of squares) and you aren't super picky about the exact finished size, you do not need to worry about the 1/4" seam allowance. You can ignore all of that and come back to figuring out how to do it later. For simple patchworks, it's just important that your seam allowance is consistent. So, if you're not super familiar with sewing but are using a machine, just line up the edges of the fabric with the edge of the foot on your sewing machine, and whatever that is will be fine (as long as the seam allowance is large enough to not unravel. It'd work for all the sewing machine feet I have, but I have not seen all the options) also tagging in @creations-by-chaosfay, who has been quilting a lot longer than I have. Do you have a good step-by-step starting guide to making your first quilt?

I’m having a delightful time playing through again but I do have one question — is it possible to get a back button? I was just super rude to Eurydice because of butterfingers 😅

I sadly have no say in the UI design, which is one downside to writing in CScript. CoG has a principled reason (that I disagree with) for not including a back button, but there's not much I can do about that, sadly.

As someone who has done that kind of thing more than once, I feel your pain. -_-;

Dani’s first thought at the sight of Death, ignoring the unease crawling down her back and the wiggling rabbit trying to escape her hold yet again, was incredibly inappropriate. Something she and Aubrey would laugh about later, for sure, but right then and there... well....

‘Oh, she’s a lot shorter than I’d thought.’

They didn’t know each other. Not yet. But as their eyes met, Death’s hair catching literal fire as her face bloomed with a deep blush, Dani felt any lingering fear dissipate. Her second thought about Aubrey was unexpected, but not unwelcome.

‘She’s cuter than I’d thought too.’

hey @writerproblem193 I hope you’ve had a fantastic Candlenights!! I’m acting as your Star King as a part of @thecandlenightszone exchange! this is part one of two; I’ll be posting the fic that accompanies this piece sometime in the coming few days (aka once I finish editing)

Your animatic of Mercy + the rest of the fools has truly made my day multiple times. There are so many details. I've watched it at least a dozen times and I really love it, thank you so much.

Im going to use “rest of fools” as plural for Lyctor. Thank you < 3333

Hi you seem like you might know: good Mary fic??? Trying to sort for fics with her in it gives a thousand million side character fics and/or AUs where she's a normal happy suburban wife. If you have lists or fics or places to dig for Mary where's she a hunter, got complicated relationships with Being Alive In The Future, that sort of thing then I would be OVERJOYED. Spn ALMOST got me back when they brought back Mary. Spn PLEASE let there be a parent that's complicated w/out them being horrifying

GODDDDD i haven’t read enough fic recently for thisssssssss but i’m putting out a call for my followers to rec on this post because i want that shit too. also at some point i’m gonna write fic where sam asks mary if she’s homophobic and they talk about Changing Attitudes but that’s not what you want i don’t think
