I am joining in with Thursday's My Creative Space at Kootoyoo.
This week my creative space is full of pins and batting. They await a meet-up with this quilt-top.
This is my first quilt, so its best no-one looks too closely at the seam intersections. Or the seams themselves for that matter. That ⅝ inch garment seam allowance is a hard habit to break ( ... and frankly those 5" charm squares are now looking a bit on the small side).
And in case you were unsure of the scale of the quilt, here's a comparison. And a cat in flagrant breach of the Hoppo Bumpo no bed-no chair-no cushion-no blanket rule. (Its a harsh operation we're running here). I'd better add quilts to that.
Thank you very much Kirsty for hosting My Creative Space. Its great fun seeing what everyone is doing. To see who else is showing their creative space today (or to join in), head over here.
looking good especially for a first run...
ReplyDeleteIt looks great :)
ReplyDeleteNot looking to closely...but duly impressed! Cute kitty, BTW...
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! As for cats, I've been trying to cut out stuff for craft camp but the kitty keeps trying to *help* me by sitting on or diving into the fabric.
ReplyDeletelooking good, happy sandwiching, I hope you have some good music to listen too...
ReplyDeleteLooks good! Definitely not as wonky as my first quilt. :) GL with the basting and the quilting.
ReplyDeleteSo soft and pretty looking, straight too :)
ReplyDeleteI am imprressed that you ahve made a quilt as to me it is one of those things I have on my one day list, but also scares because I know it requires neatness, patience and precision- none of which are my strong points!
ReplyDeleteOh it is going to be so so so lovely... already is.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is great! Lovely colours. If you figure out a way to get the cat to stick to the rules, can you contact me? If you visit my blog today you will see how much trouble I'm in!
ReplyDeleteHave only had my cat one night but have had to implement a rule here for lil mr puss-no drinking my tea, even if it has cooled down and is milky, and even if you look up at me with those eyes!! Your quilt looks really soft and sweet.
ReplyDeleteOooh I can't wait to see it quilted...don't quilt the cat. x
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Liesl! Puss has good taste.
ReplyDeleteI think it's you that's confused about the rules HB.
ReplyDeleteQuilt looks gorgeous to me.
Ugggg. Basting. It just goes onnnn and onnnn....
ReplyDeleteBah! Cats! They always want to 'help' at the most inconvenient times!! It's looking good :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks perfect to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture you made of those safety pins.I am sure the quilt will be nothing less than great!
ReplyDeleteGreat inclusion of the pussy. The quilt is looking wonderful. Welcome to the addictive world of patching.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Have you seen how bad my seams are?
I think that the whole thing is looking fabulous and any place the cat bum lands is home - no use fighting it
ReplyDeleteFirst quilt??? It's brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the no quilt rule. If I was that cat, I'd want to sit on it too!
ReplyDeleteWow it's looking fab Liesl! Better organise our crafternoon with Andi and get those basting pins aquainted with your quilt top!!!
ReplyDeleteit's handmade, with love, so will be beautiful no matter what ~ and it does looks absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteA round of applause for your article post. Thanks Again. Keep writing.
