Quilt Day - Part Two

(See prior post for first part of my Quiltathon day.)

After coming home from the wedding shower I got back to work on this charity quilt. Our quilt guild is making these simple quilts for a hospice organization. It is composed of ten 4-1/2 strips which you quilt along the seams and at 6 inch intervals across the quilt. The binding is sewn on the back, brought around to the front and secured with a decorative stitch. It is nice to have once project crossed off my list.Tomorrow is a busy day and I probably won't get home until late afternoon, but I hope to work on my half-square triangles for the Quilt-Along.

Elliot patiently waits in the chair behind my sewing table while I concentrae on my quilting.

And Rudi sits upstairs at the kitchen table checking my Sudoku puzzles.

Finished quilt

Here is my finished quilt top that I started on the first Quiltathon day. The colors look dull here, but they are very bright. The backing is made from the leftover greens with a few other greens added to make it large enough. As you can see, the cat inspector is deciding whether to approve or not.

The green batik fabric is so vibrant and beautiful, but it just does not photograph well. Trust me, it looks much better in person.

While attempting to pay my bills, dear visiting cat decided to give me some assistance. She is hoping my lap will soon be available.

Quiltathon progress.....

Today was my day to participate in the Quiltathon. The bears were a little miffed at me for getting such a late start.I ironed my fabric..........

And cut my fabric.......

Working steadily, I managed to get all 100 components sewn together.
And here they are on the design wall.

It is only 6:30pm here, but I'm quiting for the day. I hope to get it all put together this next week, including two borders.

I really enjoyed my sewing day knowing that there were others out there spending time in their sewing rooms too. Thanks Judy for arranging this Quiltathon.
