I think I said Shrimp fighting or dueling when I did the survey, but now that I’ve seen the cow in a collar smelling tulips answer, that’s what it looks like to me–guess I’m very suggestible!

I wish I would have written down my answers, because now I can’t remember!

In reply to Colleen. BTW that was 1960 and I am sure I am a data point in someone's survey, because that is when they started really collecting them. Funny thought, but my Dad probably got paid when he volunteered me.

I can’t remember what I saw originally, but today I saw two pregnant fire eaters surrounded by smoke.

Being a Navy brat you must succumb to many things, one of which was a child psychiatrist showing me those ink blots. I must have really deliberated because the person kept reiterating to just tell him what I saw. The symmetry was all I could see, so only butterflies came to mind, but I distinctly remember seeing one card and having absolutely no idea (it must have been this card IX), so I said “Zasu Pitts!” She was a silent movie actress that my mother knew, but not for her acting abilities … she loved how her name sounded. Her name became our family mantra when we were stumped. Wonder what the psychiatrist thought of that one.

Mary – I would love to hear/read your presentation on the grammar of quilt patterns. I work in the industry, I spend my days writing patterns, correcting patterns, and verifying patterns – it’s all in a days work. What is the correct grammar for patterns??? Let’s not even get started on formatting. Oh boy – if you want examples – I can give you the good, the bad and the darn right ugly!!!!!

If you’re willing to share/chat, my e-mail is attached to this comment (I hope) and we can have a chat.

Wow!!! The answers are amazing. How many of us looked at the block repeatedly while reading this, considering the viewpoint (and imagination!) of others? For the record, I still maintain my “Fire-Breathing Dragon” stance, but have to admit whoever said “two moose coming out of the water in the fall” is brilliant! Loved reading all the creative results. Thanks Mary. Oh, and good luck with your presentation! I wonder how many future quilters will emerge…. You GO girl!

I must say I did contemplate shrimp (dancing not dueling) on seaweed before I settled on pelvic bones. So many ways to go with this.
