Main part of quilt top
Cat-themed for someone who loves cats
Have had this fabric in my stash for many years.
The quilt is for a guy. The print is cartoony, but has colors that seem masculine enough for the recipient.

Auditioning accent colors. Rust and yellow are from stash.
Yellow seemed rather ordinary so I went with the rust color.

Strips added to the sides
Blue strips added to every other square
Rust strips added
Looking good so far
I like to strip piece. This is about half of the actual unit. I can get 11 3.5" cuts from each strip set.

The skinny strip on the right is all that is left of this particular blue fabric, which was from stash. I was hoping I could piece the main part of the top using only this fabric, because the new fabric I bought is close but perhaps not identical. I don't mind if the border is a slightly different blue. By the way, I washed the blue fabrics together, hoping that the dyes would cross each other to make the fabrics blend better.

Once again, the quilt top - main part. Will add a wide border of dark blue to finish the top.

It is looking great. I was about to ask if you finished it and got it to its new home, but then I knew better. Of course you did :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenn. I did only a little work on the quilt over the weekend. Looks like Wednesday will be the delivery date.
