Despite the fact I still have a million and one things on my yard/porch to-do list, on Sunday, I said screw it all and took a sewing day.
I really wanted to get my Sewcialites top finished!!!
And I’m happy to say I did!
When I finished all the blocks… I wasn’t really in love with the quilt. Despite the fact that I keep doing them, samplter quilts are not my favourite. And I just wasn’t loving the colours. It all just looked like a messy chaos.
But the thin black sashing not only makes the blocks pop, it also brings a sense of order to it all. I like it much better now.
Part of me does wish I’d sewn a band of white around all the blocks so they were floating… but it’s too late now an I can live with it like this.
It’s about 60″ square, and of course, it’s full of fun cat prints.
I’ve got a fun paw print for the back…
… and it couldn’t be more perfect. I have some of the red swirl fabric used in the blocks for binding. And I’ll cut it just as soon as I remember where I put it!!!
This one is tucked away for now. I probably won’t get to quilting it for a while. But that’s fine, I’m happy to have it out of the project box and in the to-quilt pile!

Sometime projects take on a life of their own and you just have to respect what they decide to be. Lucky you. It’s another beauty!

That is such a beautiful quilt! With the fabrics you used, it had to be pretty. The blocks are just stunning and the black sashing ties everything together. Great backing fabric.
