Just the binding left! Above are the original inspo images for the project, and I think I nailed it tbh.

I’m much more pleased with the quilting now that it’s done. It’s a bit geometric, but I think it’ll soften some once it gets washed and crinkles.

Y’all, I found a paper piece that didn’t get taken out!! Thank goodness I was only about 8” from the border so it wasn’t awful to unpick a few things and pop it out.

Gotta be honest I don’t feel all that confident about the quilting pattern I’m doing, but I’m just going to keep going.

@gamechangershow reference in the sewing studio??
Edit: Just in case this was unclear, this is not my quilt! This is hung at the store/studio where my stepmom works and nobody knows who made it

So.. about those colours i couldnt decide if fit into the Main Project(tm) - i decided to make a mini-quilt for the cat to lay on in the window sil.
Tumblr media
Its probably been god to have a small trial project, and Ive experimented with thread colour and stitch length and minutia in general..
The cat seems meh a out it when i lay it out in the sil - sooo... We'll see how he likes the finished quilt later on!

Progress so far!

After a long hiatus from this quilt, I finally finished constructing the last two of the twelve blocks. I’m not even going to try to trim and neaten all these and cut sashing strips until tomorrow. But I feel kind of good. The blocks are scrappy and wonky, but this will eventually be a nice football game or college dorm blanket.

Here is the first ring that I have repaired. The six green striped ones are replacements for the deteriorating green rayon. I know I should start from the center of the quilt and work outwards, but these were in bad shape. There are still 2 more on the edge, but those will have to wait until the end since I have to remove the bias binding and then replace it when I am finished.

The quilt for my neighbor is done! It is a little rough, but I was in a rush to wrap it up since I have other projects to get to.
Time to wrap it and hand it off to them! I even got it done months before the baby arrived.
