not impressed

i started making a quilt last week-- no idea what i'm doing exactly. i've never done this before and i'm not following a pattern or even a set of instructions. i'm just making it up as i go along. i cut 225 squares out of pillow cases and fabric scraps i picked up at op shops (i decided to go out and spend the money on a rotary blade and cutting mat-- so glad i did that. the job was sooo easy that way). last nite i was at the point where i'd sewn 4 of the 15 rows together. i'd layed out all the other squares in lines on the lounge room floor so i could get a good random non-pattern (we had a discussion at work yesterday when my co-worker was talking to a kid about the "random pattern" they were doing--- can it be a pattern if it's random? random and pattern are opposite). anyway, i layed the 4 rows i'd sewn over top of the non-sewn ones so that if wombat walked over them they wouldn't get messed up. i have trying to keep wombat off my work completely (really hard when i'm on the floor) cuz she sometimes has muddy paws. i was sitting on the floor near the quilt and zac and a friend were standing talking. wombat was jumping around excitedly at the new person in the house. all of a sudden she gets down and starts doing her doggy butt scoot-- right on top of my quilt!!! and she left a streak!!!!! couldn't really yell at her for it though. she had no idea what she'd done. as far as she's concerned her ass was bothering her, she cleaned it the only way she knows how. i was more annoyed at zac who thought this was the funniest thing ever (he was still laughing 3 hours later!!). i washed that bit of the quilt but i'm a little disgusted though cuz she did the butt scoot on the carpet earlier in the evening and again right after i pushed her off the quilt. there's probably dog poop on the carpet but our carpet is brown so the only way to find it is sniff (and i'm not doing that). i might just clean the whole general area where she was butt scooting around (how many other times has she done the butt scoot and left steaks that we don't know about-- we always assume she's got a hair or something stuck coming out cuz that's happened a couple times. i think she eats my hair when i'm asleep).
