The tile itself looks really amazing, but you REALLY shouldn't leave 3 edges full of black, it's just plain aggravating to check out a tile like that.

P.S. - Where's the little guy?

great work here, but... what's the story with the cow?
what did the cow eat?
anyone???

There are only SO many things you would say a cow could eat, and with a theme like this it is very had to adhere to the theme WHILST making your tile seem pleasant. Ya didn't hear anyone go "I've never seen a puppy dog made out of an asteroid!" on the last quilt, did you??
Well, then now you're probably asking "Why do people stick to the theme on the incredible machine quilt?" 1) They are good. It's and invite only quilt. I'd expect them to be kickass at it. 2) What's easier to be creative with? Machinery or something a cow would most likely eat?

What I'm saying is that give people a break with sticking to the theme. People try. IMHO, you just can not draw 120 things a cow would eat, and make them blend together. At least I can't.

And those are my firggin two cents. :)

yeah sorry 'bout the black edges. I really ran out of ideas.

about the not sticking with the theme.. I tried to do something fitting the theme, but couldn't think of anything so I ended up with this.

very smooth tile ..but leaving 3 sides black isnt that smooth hehe
