Something about this ALWAYS brings the quilt police!

Whenever I lay out a quilt, they all come running. What's up with this?
Just finished my Diamond quilt using Kaffe Fasset fabrics. Trying to decide what to use for backing. This is for our CA King. Yes, it's big! I love sewing diamonds!
Thanks for looking.

Any time I put something on the floor my dog thought it was for him.

Girlfriend 05-17-2013 04:45 AM

That must be it! LOL

Oooh...I love the fabric colors and I think your quilt police team approves as well. Yes, no matter where the "police" have their secret HGs , they seem to know when they have to show up. Lol
your quilt is beautiful.

Those aren't quilt police, those are inspectors. BIG difference!! Quilt police are the ones who tell you there is only one right way to do something. They are the ones that say crazy things like machine quilting isn't real quilting, points should always line up, you should never use a sheet for backing, etc. etc. etc. Inspectors don't say anything, they just check things out.

Is that a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy in the 2nd pic??

No, Australian Sheppard. She "hurds" all the shitzu's (3). She watches everything they do. Cuts them off if they run too fast past her.

Thanks for the clarification. They are definitely inspecting!

DebraK 05-17-2013 04:52 AM

wow, that is one big, gorgeous, conglomeration of fabric.

Girlfriend 05-17-2013 04:53 AM

Thank you for your kind comments Nancy.

....because they are movie stars and they thinks it's the red carpet treatment? Great quilt top!

Lori S 05-17-2013 04:56 AM

Wonderful use of Kaffee! Love your quilt top. My fuzzy one always wants first rights of napping on any finished quilt top or finished quilt. I have to wait till I put him out to layout a quilt , or ...yup its like a calling to have to lay smack in the middle.

That is so pretty. Love the colors and the merging of them.

charsuewilson 05-17-2013 05:34 AM

My last set of inspectors liked to "help" with the sandwiching - sitting on the batting. One of the current set likes to rip out any visible batting. That doesn't help when the quilt still needs borders.

sambra 05-17-2013 05:52 AM

Love the colors! I have a herd of shi tzus also.(3) They are by my feet as I type, quilt, eat, sleep. Yep they are always there!

Beautiful quilt!! My beagle "Libby" and the lab "Mia" thought the quilt was for their comfort while I was quilting it (hand quilting) I often had to shove them off to turn the quilt ....

Your quilt is really pretty!!

meldmac 05-17-2013 06:23 AM

Love your quilt and your inspectors!

willferg 05-17-2013 06:24 AM

That is utterly gorgeous. You did Kaffe Fassett proud!

Txsuthrn 05-17-2013 06:32 AM

Love the quilt. Beautiful work. As I'm reading I have a yorkie and a very pregnant rat terrier on my left side and a Siamese cat on my legs, they have to "help" do everything!

JustAbitCrazy 05-17-2013 06:32 AM

Gorgeous quilt! The Aussie's not bad, either, lol! They're great dogs!

michelleoc 05-17-2013 06:33 AM

You must have been thinking that you needed help. they read your mind. Besides, they are family and family is there to help. great quilt!!!!

Jim's Gem 05-17-2013 08:10 AM

Bright and Beautiful!!!

quiltstringz 05-17-2013 08:24 AM

It's not so bad if they get on it when it is sewn together! Mine loves to do it before that and rearrange block for me - not sure if that is an inspector or police!

Yosamitesa 05-17-2013 08:25 AM

That is beautiful and I LOVE your quilt police!!!

costumegirl 05-17-2013 08:37 AM

Very pretty colours!! Love your adorable inspectors!!!

klgls 05-17-2013 09:01 AM

Love the quilt and the cute inspectors!

OKLAHOMA PEACH 05-17-2013 09:08 AM

Love you quilt, such wonderful vibrant colors, great job and adorable babies.

petthefabric 05-17-2013 09:12 AM

Great inspectors and quilt.

Before the design wall, it was the floor. The cats loved to take a running leap and grab as many squares as possible as they slid across the room. Learned quickly to close the door, but whenever I forgot, just made the challenge all that more fun.

DOTTYMO 05-17-2013 09:45 AM

Yes mine love any quilt especially if they think it is for them. Lovely bright colours must look get hem up.

mcdaniel023 05-17-2013 09:57 AM

Your quilt is almost as beautiful as those inspectors. Love it.

watson's mom 05-17-2013 10:07 AM

Looks like they take their work seriously. Great quilt.

Justquilting 05-17-2013 10:12 AM

Great quilt...mine were the same way. They loved their blankie's

tezell0801 05-17-2013 11:11 AM

Love the doggies and the quilt ain't bad either. Beautiful colors.

klarina 05-17-2013 11:24 AM

So... did you pass their inspection? lol

Pollytink 05-17-2013 11:43 AM

Wow! That is one gorgeous quilt! And so are all those furbabies!!

patsynel 05-17-2013 12:10 PM

Well, the quilt police should give you a big A+ because that is one gorgeous quilt top.

cminor 05-17-2013 12:33 PM

That happens at my house too! I don't even have to lay it all on the floor....I tried showing my husband a top yesterday by holding it up and next thing you know there are dog feet all over!!

vondae 05-17-2013 01:57 PM

Well, I suppose they will be on it sooner or later anyway. Need to make sure you did it THEIR way. LOL. They are really cute.

Nammie to 7 05-17-2013 02:21 PM

Beautiful quilt - my inspectors are feline - and they will rearrange anything they don't like!
