Quilt Along Flimsy

It took me all day, but I finished up the last three borders on Judy's Quilt Along #1. The HST's took most of the time and then of course the speed bumps along the way - HST's going the wrong way, bobbin thread breaking, not enough fabric for the final border (I made them 1/2 inch smaller), and cat interruptions. This first picture does not show the true colors as it was dark in my quilt room and my camera is not working properly. This close-up of the corner shows the border fabric a little better, however, the orange looking border is really a deep pink with orange strips.
I'm very happy with how the quilt turned out and want to thank Judy once again for giving us a great quilt pattern.

Quilt Along progress

Sashing and first two borders are completed on Judy's Quilt Along. I'm loving this quilt! Judy's instructions are so good and accurate. It is a pleasure to work on the project and watch as strips and HST's turn into great quilt designs. Gratitude List -

1. Great weekend with good friends

2. Visiting cats behaving like gentlemen

12 blocks completed

As I was working hard to finish the 12 blocks for Judy's Quilt Along, my visiting cat decided it was lap time. It is hard to navigate the sewing machine when a cat is riding shot gun. However, in spite of cat interference, I managed to get all 12 blocks done just in time for today's deadline. I'm happy with how they look.
And Elliot would also like to take a bow.

Quilting Along #1

Here is the fabric I picked out for Judy's new project - Quilting Along #1. (See her sidebar for information) The green fabric with the little circles is the focus fabric. The stripe behind it (which is actually shocking pink and orange) will be the accent borders. The yellow fabric in front will be for the sashing. All the pinks, blues and greens will be the half-square triangles. I bought the circles fabric last summer without any idea what I wanted to do with it - I just had to have it. Now I have a good way to show it off. This should be fun. Thanks Judy!
