As promised, I got Meow-lky Way quilted and bound before the end of the weekend.
It’s been nothing but wet snow/rain the last few weeks, so getting outside pictures without getting the quilt dirty was tricky – the whole yard is just a mudhole! (and with Relic in and out, my floors are just disgusting!)
I do love the colours of this one – all bright and cheerful – the purrfect thing to cheer up the January blahs.
The quilt finished up at about 52″ square, so it’s a nice cuddle size for the sofa, or a really big baby blanket.
And let’s take a look at that backing fabric again…
As I mentioned, it’s a cute flannel print that’s been in the stash for ages. It was a clearance bin buy from at least 10 years ago. I’d bought it intending to make myself pj pants. I never got around to it, though. I had six yards of it, and way back in 2012, I gave Sam half of it to make some pj pants for Lily. The three yards I had left has just been languishing since then. Obviously it was waiting for this project! It’s so nice to use up old stash!
What a sweet little quilt. I love your color choices.

What a beautiful quilt! Your fabrics for the blocks are just wonderful and the fabrics for the borders, backing and binding are pretty spectacular. I can see that the backing fabric would make great PJ pants. After 10 years, I guess it’s time to be utilized in another project though.

Now, if you didn’t tell anyone about that back, they’d assume you picked it out special for this quilt! Couldn’t be any more perfect!
