tielan: a vivid quilt in a rainbow of colours (quilting)
Sunday, January 30th, 2011 11:09 am
It is finished! (Well, the top, anyway.)

One postage stamp quilt. Signed-up 3rd January, finished 30th January. Fastest quilt I've ever made! And so very nicely dramatic!


The finished top!


It's the scrappiest quilt-top I've ever made - usually, I select specific fabrics and the pattern is very organised. But the decision to use a range of light-coloured fabrics rather than a single fabric or several identically-shaded fabrics makes it look very scrappy - like it was made from lots of little odds and ends.

If you look at some of the other quilts in the quilt-along, you'll see what I mean.

I'm still missing my cat like crazy, all the more because she usually watches me sew, climbs up on the sewing table and then jumps down when the sewing machine starts going, plonks herself down on the quilt pieces I'm working with, and generally has me going, "Oh, cat. Not there!"
