#quiltsky suggestions, please!
I normally just quilt around the block pieces (because that's the way Momaw did it) but this one has wide sashing and I think it could use more texture. How would you quilt it?

Why do people feed primates? New paper from some of the @peopleprimate.bsky.social team on the human dimension of this common human-animal interaction. #primates 🐒#science 🧪

A great way to support other academics is to ask your university or local library to purchase a copy of their book. If you teach #primate ecology or conservation, check out our edited volume on Primates in Anthropogenic Landscapes! w/ @marspidermonkey.bsky.social and @peopleprimate.bsky.social

Reading this one right now and it makes my brain itch, but in a good, Twin Peaks-y way. Like, I'm not quite sure what's going on but I don't think it really matters.

My late Momaw pieced these from my Popaw's work shirts after he died, but she said it was too sad and she didn't finish the #quilt. It's taking me ages to applique them (they're pretty wobbly, bless her heart). But we're almost there - this is the last one! 💔
