A Tale of Super Q vs. The Evil Robot Vacuum

This is a story about an artisan quilter (Super Q) who was innocently learning a new quilt layout, when all of a sudden, an evil Robot Vacuum, Roomba, decided to viciously attack at her unbound quilt squares.  Thus, the squares were ruthlessly dragged all over the house, through the vacuum's wheels leaving tire tracks, and ending up inside the dirt catch mixing with dust, dirt, pet hair, and other unmentionables.....ugh.  This would be easier if I had a vertical push pin board on which to lay out quilt squares, but alas, no room for that in my tiny craft room.  Super Q meticulously extracted all squares stuck inside the vacuum, and with hope and determination, she stitched together the squares into a beautiful quilt top, scarred with tire tracks, black dog hair, and Super Q's pride.

Isn't the diamond quilt design cute?

Evil Robot Vacuum, Roomba...the culprit
Currently, the quilt top is soaking in a cold washing machine as Super Q crosses her fingers in hope that her quilt top will not be further destroyed in the cleaning process.  Super Q is not exactly confident since all the colors in the quilt are prone to bleeding in the wash.  But, with all fingers and toes crossed, Super Q may triumph over Roomba.  Stay tuned for the results and the actual story......
