Harlequin

The big project of the weekend was putting together the scrappy 16-patch/QST top.

On Saturday, I was up early, and in the sewing room by 10 am (usually it’s noon most weekends).

I had a rotating cast of characters helping throughout the day as I sewed all the blocks together.

It was not without a hiccup or two. Those QSTs have to be positioned a certain way, depending what row they are in, and I did get a few of them messed up. But it didn’t set me back too much and by 3 pm, I had the last row sewn on and the top was complete!

I really am thrilled with this one. It was a great scrap buster, with a fabulous result. It finished up at 70″ square, so it’s a nice sized quilt too!

I’ve got these fun polkadots for the back, and I’m thinking a plain black binding will wrap it all up nicely! Sadly, we have plans for next weekend, so I think this will be the only project I complete for WIPtember… but still – it’s one project less than I had, so that’s a success!

    The quilt is lovely, you’re such an inspiration. I have two half finished quilt tops that I need to get to. I’m knitting just now, so don’t have time to sew.

    This one is great and I love all of the colors, both in the top and the backing fabric. I didn’t even see LBB at first in the first photo. He blends in perfectly. Love all of your little furbabies helping all day. You can sure telll that they want to be with you.

    Blessings,

    The quilt is just beautiful! I love your design. Love the photo of the two ginger cats also. I think Rupert is in the front with an almost scowl on his face.
