A Meow Update

Because we pay a million dollars a metre fabric for in New Zealand, and because I really didn't know what I was doing, I made a prototype using scraps and ugly fabric (I am talking about you, Purple).


Fortunately, I still have notes from when I first started quilting. They helped me work out the size of my HSTs.


I remembered how much I dislike making HSTs. Pity each block needs 32 HSTs.




The first block has turned out ok. I think the linen on the right looks a different colour just because of the light. I am using Camile Roskelley's pattern, but I made some adjustments to take into account the size of the blue cats.


Every time I got up - and there is a lot of getting up and down when making HSTs - Lucy the Cat stole my sewing chair. She loves it.


It's nearly the Christmas hols. Yay.

    That looks fantastic! I can only imagine how much unpicking I would suffer through if I did that block :-)
