Here I was stitching the 36 inch seam of the first border, now I’m
working on the second one. Of course it’s all done by hand!

Fancy Cats
This quilt was hidden in my
cupboard for many years. I shared the start of this quilt in one of the early
posts on this blog, when I only wrote them in Dutch. You can read them here and
here. I finished the top in 2008, but never shared a photo. So this is how my
top looked before I started adding the borders.

Beautiful quilt colours and a lot of hand work.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, I like patching by hand. It's so relaxing.
VerwijderenI bet you get a lot of pleasure out of working with this quilt so it finally can be completed.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful colours.
Yes, the fabrics were a birthday gift from my quilting friends many years ago. They were part of a series and I originally wanted a matching fabric for the border from the same series. I was lucky to find some pretty matching fabric a few months ago.
Verwijderenlooks so good I have a panel with lots of cats on somewhere this has given me some ideas
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm glad I could inspire you. I think I have the design I made in one of the folders on my computer. If I can find them I'll share them in my next post about this quilt.
VerwijderenBeautiful! Gosh, what a lot of hand stitching!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery neat stars! I'm looking forward to seeing how you finish your quilt.
