There are 8 different cats and about 7 different fabrics. Each cat was cut out 3 times because there are 24 blocks. I have to fine tune their placement on the blocks before I fuse and stitch them in place. Still a lot of work ahead.
I guess I’ll be laying this quilt out on the floor since my design wall is not large enough for a king sized quilt. I wonder what it will cost to have it quilted. I’m thinking my husband will faint when he sees that receipt!
Thanks for reading.

What a delightful project. I can imagine a quilting motif involving rolling balls of yarn.
ReplyDeleteOh, I was wondering if you planned on quilting it yourself and just how you would do it. Yeah, I imagine the bill for having someone else do it would be hefty but well worth it. On a traditional quilt like this, my go to would be straight line corner to corner quilting and stitch in the ditch with echoing around the cats but still, that would take a lot of time and effort on something that big.
ReplyDeletegreat post !
ReplyDeleteMaking real progress. Remember you only have to quilt 7 - 8 inches at a time. The real trick to domestic machine quilting is supporting the rest of the quilt from creating drag. I used to have a hook in the ceiling with bungie cords hanging down with clamps to support the quilt to prevent drag. But then, I like to quilt, many don't. Laceflower
