Hello again, everyone! I'm sorry about the long delay between postings. I thought I hadn't done a lot, but when I loaded the pictures off my camera I realized that while I have been goofing off for a month enjoying life and the cat army, I actually have been productive on the quilt front. I know you can't wait a moment longer, so without further ado, here is what I've been doing for the last month....

The Spinster quilt lives! Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. These steps to the altar are strewn with beautiful little flowers.

Well, drat. I decided to use left over blocks from an earlier quilt to make a lap quilt for a friend of a friend who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. I thought this would be cheerful and give her something to curl up in to relax between doses of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, I didn't have as many blocks left over as I thought I did and didn't get it to lap size. I'm going to quilt this and have it on hand for when someone, anyone, I know becomes pregnant with a little girl. Want this? Get some wine into you and head down to the local bar. I kid, I kid, you can buy wine when you get there.

I did finish and give away the Forest Fantasy quilt last month. I was so happy with how the quilting turned out and how it looks put together. Scout agrees and had to be forcibly removed so I could put it away and keep some of the cat hair off it. CF came over one evening and picked it up. I love giving these little projects away. The cats are opposed to that practice, but I've told them that adversity builds character.
Next up, more Spinster action! (And, hopefully, not another month between postings. Sorry about that!)
Congrats on the quilt finish. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteFor the aug zag quilt, if you wanted to get it to lap size, how about picking out some contrasting colours that go wuth the ones you've got, and add to all four sides. Then you'll have zig zags that change colour as the go a cross the middle square portion of the quilt then back again. The other option is picking out fabrics of the same colours but darker and doing the same. I think it could look quite effective.
Love the forest fantasy! Have you made special quilts for the cat army yet? What are you waiting for? It's good to see you in blogland, hope you're getting all ready for the holidays.
