Before he ghosted on me, my (former, I guess?) partner had a habit of yoinking all my heaviest quilts to use as his own. One of them is this deliciously heavy blanket my mother bought me at a Macy’s store closing sale almost two decades ago. He did not take it when he left, and I stashed it on a shelf.
Now I am looking at it.
It is no longer in the excellent condition it once was, largely at the edges. There are not rips nor tears through the body of the quilt, but huge chunks of the edge are open. Mostly popped seams but there is at least one spot where torn fabric is coming off in a slender strip.
I am trying to figure out my best Avenue of repair. I was thinking of doing a binding tape edge all the way around, but several of the sides have scalloped edges, which enfunkenizes it. Maybe I could trim them down to a straight edge?

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." - Marilyn Monroe
asteroid Wabi-Sabi code number : 10585
The asteroid wabi-sabi (10585) is named after the traditional japanese aesthetic called "Wabi-Sabi".
The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature. It is prevalent in many forms of Japanese art. (Source : Wikipedia)
Wabi-sabi is a traditional Japanese aesthetic world view that focuses primarily on finding the beauty in transience and imperfection. Though wabi-sabi evolved with centuries of direct influence from Chinese Buddhism, the world view eventually became distinctly Japanese. (source : beachcomingmagazine.com)
Rather than find faults in cracks, tears and other imperfections, the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi encourages us to appreciate that nothing is truly perfect or permanent. (source : www.carnegielibrary.org)

In astrology the asteroid Wabi-Sabi (10585) could represent : where other people find your imperfections as "beautiful", where u embrace your imperfections, where your imperfections are beautiful, where you are rarely insecure about yourself, where you find imperfections as "beauty".
⚠️ Warning : i consider this asteroid as prominent and brings the most effect if it conjuncts ur personal planets (sun,moon,venus,mercury,mars) and if it conjuncts ur personal points (ac,dc,ic,mc), i use 0 - 2.5 orbs (for conjunctions). For sextile, trine, opposite and square aspects to asteroids i usually use 0 - 2 orbs. Yes tight conjunctions of planet / personal points to asteroids tends to give the most effect, but other aspects (sextile,trine,square,opposite, etc) still exist, even they produce effects. ⚠️
We’d like to thank @ibasho___gallery and @sieboldhuis for thinking on us to be part of the Wabi-Sabi exhibition @sieboldhuis starting on 23 September.
Japanese definitions of beauty have been developed over many generations. Japan has focused on the natural world adopting a sensitivity to and appreciation for nature.
The Japanese have developed a distinct sense of aesthetics to depict different kinds of beauty, and among them we find the concepts wabi and sabi.
After the Heian period, during the Medieval Times and inspired by Buddhism a new set of aesthetic values are developed centered in “the lack/absence of apparent external beauty”, discovering “another new beauty”, more elevated and sober based on simplicity, nature, impermanence, poverty, imperfection, coldness.
Wabi means “poverty.” To be poor, that is, not dependent on things worldly and yet to feel inwardly the presence of something of the highest value. Wabi is to be satisfied with a little hut, like the log cabin of Thoreau, to stay content with the contemplation of Nature.
Sabi literally means “loneliness.” Sabi consists in rustic imperfection. In poetry Sabi stands for “austere and solitary beauty.” Sabi suggests the passing of time and the patina this passing produces in the worldly things destined to vanish.
Wabi sabi represents rustic and desolate beauty that correlates with a dark, bleak beauty that can be easily overlooked; but that it can be found everywhere: such as a small worn-down hut hidden in the forest, the shy first green sprouts fighting their way out in the snow in a high-mountain village.
Wabi sabi is linked with a discreet beauty in the colourless, the old, and the fragile. In short, the beauty of a cold, bleak, solitary, wintry landscape that is used as a symbol representing and suggesting the impermanence of men.
We could say that new aesthetics places us on the way to an imperfect beauty that leads us directly to the infinite beauty.
My one fear with the GMMTV/WabiSabi merger is that they’re going to sanitize BounPrem and/or Vampire Project down to something more palatable for a heterosexual audience. Let them continue to do high heat! There are already so few high heat couples in the industry. Do not take my horny gays away from me, GMMTV!
