I thought I pinned the strips in the correct order before I started sewing. I must have flipped one of the strips. Too late to change it now. I also added in the red borders and mitered the corners. I had to look up some videos on YouTube to do the mitered corners as I could not remember how. It went well.
This is the back of the quilt. I had to go to the shop to get more fabrics for the back. I had a 'fun' time cutting the fabric along its length. Now to sandwich the cotton batting in between and do some quilting before the binding.
While I was trying to get the whole quilt top (72 x 72 inches) into my camera frame, I did not notice Tsuru sneaking onto the quilt. The other day when I was assembling the strips, Umi was skating across the floor and messing up the strips. She had to be told off twice before she stopped.
Your quilt is just gorgeous! I love the contrasting colours!
ReplyDeleteI approve of Tsuru sneaking onto the quilt since it makes it easy to see that size of it ;)
All the stripes alternate correctly, from what I can see. Maybe you wanted the color arrangement to be different. Kitties think the world is theirs! Lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm getting ready for my next quilt. All I need is a little bit of time... make that a lot of time!
ReplyDeleteI love the red border - nice choice!
ReplyDeleteA very nice quilt. I like the colours You chose. And the kitty is veeery decorative.
