I've made much progress on this project this month. Between bouts of rain and then very hot weather and appointments .... this is my progress so far.
The beginning of this month saw just nine blocks done.
Then ... ta da ..... this is where they are at right now. The blocks had to be turned sideways on my design wall. It will be longer than wider. The triangles you see on the design wall shows how many more blocks need to be made. So, getting there!
A few of the blocks have been quilted up just so that I could see what they will look like.
Big stitch hand quilting is being done on them and I'm sure loving where this journey is going.
On the Ridley front, he is fine again. He is back to being his usual self. One odd thing he does, is drag his toy rope to his water dish and after eating, he drops the rope into his water dish or he will just drop the end into his water dish without eating. Why? Don't know but he does this time and time again.
Cherish your day, cherish your life!
ha ha i guess you need to find a cat whisperer to solve the riddle....lovely blocks...
ReplyDeleteChevrons is looking good! Are you going to add applique somewhere? Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteLovely progress on your chevrons.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Ridley thinks his friend is a little skinny and needs food and water. LOL
Your quilt is coming along very well! Ridley certainly has his funny ways, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteThose Chevron hexies are impressive. These are going to look fabulous all together. That's great Ridley is better. I've always found cats to have quirky ways. =)
ReplyDeleteHello I am new to quilting and am trying to find the instructions for the Convent Quilt which there’s an image on Rose Marie’s page on Pinterest . I just love it and live in Convent Lane in a town in Australia so it’s very apt. Could anyone please direct me to where I might find it.
ReplyDeleteReply to anonymous = I believe Better Homes and Gardens had the pattern in 1994 issue somewhere but I think the one you see on Pinterest is easily copied by making a block of large nine patches spaced with a single large block - I think the idea is to use striped shirtings for the fabric choice - that's something to do with the convent idea - bits about it on general search for convent block pattern.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps to kick start your search. Elaine in UK
