My Rainbow Kitties are so cute. As soon as I got home from Sweet Peas I laid them out to sort out what order I would stich them together in. I popped out of the room for a few minutes and came back to find that Cici the cat had been having a bit of creative input.
Here they are all together:
Cici is happy with the result
In keeping with the modern look of this quilt I stitched it with Matchstick quilting. I follow a blog She can quilt, Leanne does a lot of this kind of quilting. I love the look it gives a quilt.
Leanne always shows a photo after washing so as soon as I had the binding stitched down on my kitties they had their first bath.Here is an after photo. Doesn’t it look nice and crinkly? Love that look.
I have to say though this will probably be the only quilt I will ever quilt this way. This is a small quilt, only 42” x 44”. It seemed to take forever.
Oh, the pattern if you want to make your own kitties can be found at Oh Fransson.
this is so colourful, it will cheer up even the dullest day
ReplyDeleteEverything about this quilt is great. I especially like the blue background and the quilting. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteOh, I so love your quilt! The rainbow idea works so well with the cute cats and your Matchstick quilting is marvellous. A lot of work but so worthwhile, you must be very pleased. The shade of blue you have chosen for the background is such an excellent choice. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that quilting - it makes the quilt!
ReplyDeleteSuper little cats! Such cheerful bright colours and yes, I too love the straight line quilting and the fact that Leeanne washes the quilt when finished, I love that look.
ReplyDeleteSo bright and colourful - I love that quilted effect too, I don't know whether I will ever have the patience to do it though.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.
Hello Linda,

Happy days.
