Anyone else loving the #Catvent Quilt-a-Long? I've gotten a few cats behind, but I'm still loving my little kitty assignments from the internet. It gets me to the machine on days that I just want to make a nest for myself and hibernate all winter, and it's a great starting project for those days when I have so many things to do that I don't know where to start.
I love going to this little drawer of scraps to pick colors for the new cats. I'm going rainbow-y like the original, but picking colors based on how many prints are called for in the cat and how many prints I have in like colors. I was sure that this far into the QAL, this drawer would be looking sparse, but those scraps have been multiplying while I'm not looking.
This isn't a rushed project, or a project that I need to have done for a deadline, but I'm pretty excited to see all of this come together. I keep staring at the spot that it will hang on my wall, and it looks emptier every time I walk by it.
I'm also trying to imagine different quilting designs. I love the idea of quilting faces on, but kind of want to keep it simple. I don't know, any ideas?
Linking up with Blossom Heart Quilts for Sew Cute Tuesday!
Love the teal and purple ones!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I might do a pastel on white version for my daughter's room.
DeleteThese cats are so fun! I think I'm stopping with 12 though :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt top looks great. Good call on the neutrals and pink, as sophisticated as a cat quilt can get.
DeleteHow do you think you'll quilt them?
Thanks for stopping by!
