this Cat tree is in my bedroom..you can see why there is a window there to peer outta...Molly is usually the one on top.. the next one is my only handsome dude Joey..isn't he the "cat's meow" I love those dark grey strips upon his silver fur.. and that long skinny tail. And he is a charmer.Molly thinks the best thing to do is jump from that pedestal to the bed while I am sleeping..
I am not impressed... she should be wearing a little "kitty kape"-screeching "geronimo"!!!
well I thought I would post a pic of what they all look like together so far..
I still have to play around with the blocks alittle and still have another 4 to do.. I have the one on the top right done now too.. next time.. but you can see that the pieced background will work.. I think I will put some sashing to go with the blocks.. I know I know can't make up my mind!!
since I took this pic.. I have rearranged the blocks with the new one and it blends in better. It is best to audition your blocks together to try to get a variety of color and see what you are using to much of.. I can see.. that I am favoring the orange/rust colors.. time to touch it up a notch..
well get back to sewing Blogger friends so you can post what you have been doing and so that I can take a peek.
piecefully quilting..
Love your kitties! I want one but I am afraid my puppy trio wouldn't like it.
ReplyDeleteOh my, your Aunt Millie blocks are fabulous!
Deb - your blocks are glorious. You are so talented! I love to visit your blog. Shirley
ReplyDeleteDeb - the blocks are stunning! And the cats are pretty darned good looking too! I tried out the back basting applique technique you recommended and it works well! Can't wait to see the finished quilt top!
ReplyDeleteMy sister is a cat lover also and has a blog (www.toomanytails.blogspot.com) with some great pictures of her crew.
ReplyDeleteLove the Aunt Millie blocks. That is going to be one beautiful quilt.
AMG is looking just lovely. Such an inspiration. Someday I hope to be able to do something so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh the AMG blocks are fabulous. I only have four done. Got the patterns traced and ready to pick out fabrics. Maybe next month I can start another block.
ReplyDeleteyour blocks are stunnng!
ReplyDeletehow long have you been working on them?
Fabulous blocks, they are different to the others I've seen. The colours look so good.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! the quilt is going to be magnificent! The quartered background adds a whole 'nother dimension :o)
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are stunning! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing my cats don't read blogs... they would be sooo jealous of your kitties' fabulously tall cat condo.
Your blocks are absolutely stunning! (Cats are pretty special, too...)
ReplyDeleteI just love your Millie's Garden blocks. The colors are so different from those shown on the pattern.
ReplyDeleteDeb - all I can say is AWESOME! Those blocks are wonderful - and I love that you chose to do it differently from the pattern colours......the "kitties" are adorable. My Simon is now taking over the end of my bed at night while the "Big Brown Thing" (Bosley) is asleep on the floor. It is really funny to watch the goings on when I wake up in the morning......
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Jo-Ann
OMG,OMG,OMG! Your blocks are fabulous. I keep thinking about doing this project but all I seem to be doing is thinking about it. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the kitties!
Gorgeous blocks and the background really sets them off even more .... keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are amazing. What a wonderful job you have done on them.
ReplyDeleteLove your kitties - I can just picture them jumping onto the bed from there - great fun!
I just recently took applique lessons (I'm a piecer) and our instructor, who is heading up a group of eight or ten who are doing this, displayed her blocks for us beginners. Hers is terrific, as is yours, but I very much like the pieced block style you used - very, very nice. Maybe I can play with the 'big girls' in another ten years!!! LOL
