Despite this fella
using it as his personal washing space ...
I have managed to finish the top of Little Patchwork Village.
I LOVE the red strippy border fabric which frames the quilt ... it's from the Clothesline Club: Family Gatherings by Darlene Zimmerman.
Here's a few of the blocks I haven't shown before.
Now I just have to find some backing fabric and get it quilted.
Got a call yesterday to say Pam has finished quilting An Angel Story so hopefully I'll bring it home today. How exciting!!!
That is a beautiful quilt, it looks so wonderful all pieced together.
ReplyDeleteI do not know if I would trust my kitties with that quilt;)

Love the redwork. Love red and white quilts. Your placement of dark and light red colors -- perfect! You have a very nice quilt top!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about trying to take a photo of a quilt, and cats taking over. My Trash folder is full of photos with cat bits in them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a really darling quilt, between the beautiful redwork and the perfect choice of fabrics - it's just perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way to finish stitcheries. Darlene (Quilting Daze) was just discussing this very subject today on her blog.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the quilt got the tick of approval from your cat! It looks wonderful! Dying to see Angel Story.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous. You have done a wonderful job. Cats love sitting on any quilts they can and act as if it is their right!!!

ReplyDeleteChristine, I just had to laugh at that first and second picture. Just way too cute and way too familiar. What is it about kitties and showering themselves on our work? Your quilt turned out just beautifully, I love it. Looking forward to seeing your Angel Story quilt.

Oh Christine, it is just darling! I love the way the two birds have their own house in the village. What a nice touch. 8) I love the plaid border too; it really sets off the rest of the quilt. You really make me want to try a redwork project. (Like I don't have enough projects going already. lol)
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting,
Susan
