Last week (on Tuesday night) I was encouraged to enter this quilt into our guild's quilt show to be held this weekend (Saturday, October 25). The only problem with this was that this quilt was only a flimsy at this point.
There is nothing like the pressure of entering a quilt in a quilt show to make sure it gets finished! I spent last weekend quilting and evenings this week hand-sewing the binding. I finished today. I was just in time as we hang the quilts for our quilt show tomorrow!
Since there were no quilt hangers available today, I put the quilt on our bed for its picture. Of course, Joey took the opportunity to inspect the quilt. It must have met his paw of approval as he was not in a hurry to get off the quilt.
It's a really cute quilt and I love the spiral quilting.
ReplyDeleteIt works really well! I guess the cat knew it needed a black cat for the photo opp!
ReplyDeleteThat mummy print is soooo cute...
ReplyDeleteAre you ready to do this with your chickens?
it looks perfect with black cat on it. Maybe you should enter him in the show too!
ReplyDeleteWhat would Halloween be without a black cat?! Your quilt looks wonderful! Have fun with the Quilt Show this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThis turned out wonderfully, Norma and Joey is the prefect addition to it. I love that phrase "Paw of approval" LOL but hey, it is true!
ReplyDeleteYou did yeoman's work getting this one done in time! Hope you didn't completely wear yourself out hanging the quilts today.
LOVE the halloween quilt. Did you use a published pattern or just make it up as you went along? Great way to set all those different fabrics with the bright plainer fabrics :)
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous! I like your model, too...it is true that a deadline certainly provided incentive to geterdun!
ReplyDeleteterrific job Norma- way to have a finish even if it was under such pressure.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome Halloween quilt! I love it!
