Once I got it laid out I had to race the cats to get it sewn together.
Interestingly this quilt photographs "better" than I see it in person. I think it is one of those quilts in which you can see the pattern better from a distance and I stand on a chair to take the photo.
Some close-ups of blocks of the finished top:
It looks great! I think you are right about it looking better from afar. When you are too close you don't see all the block patterns and how they work together.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that when you were first cutting and putting units together I didn't think it looked that good, but when it is all put together it looks great. I guess that is the fun part of the mystery.

I totally didn't think it would come out so good either! I still did better with the colors last year, but I am content with this one and it gave me a great outlet this weekend. I think it will be helpful to get a really nice backing on it.
DeleteIt is the fun part of the mystery...although there have been some hug failures. :) I think it is why many of us have a "stash only" rule.
That is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I got a nice backing to go with it today.
DeleteWow. That's beautiful. I have some memories of trying to wrap presents with kitty cats around, can't even imagine trying to work with a quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh man...I swear they come running when the cardboard comes out. They totally liked to slide across it and scatter fabric. It is chaos.
DeleteHow pretty!! You are good girl. Now if I could just figure out how to sew on a button!
ReplyDeleteI promise you...you are never too old to learn. :)
