I had forgotten about the cat quilt I started, and the autumn leaves. lol!!!
I'm currently working on the ribbon quilt, for one of my daughter-in-laws, whose birthday is next month. I'm thinking just a bit smaller than a twin size.
~ notice my 'design wall' is my living room floor. I'm guessing if I did have wall space, the brattly animals would just pull it down anyways. lol!!! :-)
Thank you for looking.
Diana :-)

I love them all!! But of course, the cat one is my favorite :roll: :roll:

I'm scrolling down the page thinking... nice... got to the leaves and thought... real nice... then got to the green one and that's gorgeous! I love the colours and the blocks, and the inspector of course! lol

Thank you both! You've made my night!! :D

If you want to make the cat one bigger you could add a wide border, to save pulling bits off.

It's pretty small though, maybe 40" square? That was the size the pattern called for, and as it was my first time following Debbie Mumm's patterns, I was glad at the time to be (almost) done with it. lol!!! But it was actually pretty easy, once I got the hang of it. I can picture it being couch size, smaller than a twin. I like the bright colors in it.

Or to make the kitty one bigger.....leave it as is. Add one row of kitties all the way around the quilt, (or add two rows top and bottom and 1 row down each side), add another border (like the first one), maybe another small border and then you're done...couch size!

You two are wonderful!! Your great minds think alike. :thumbup: Sounds purrfect - a couple more rows, then borders!!! My mind was stuck thinking I 'had to follow how the pattern was'. Duh.
Now after I get this ribbon quilt done, I'll have to go through my stash, and start working on it!
Thanks!!

lol

I'd go with sewjoyce's suggestion too. But be warned, once you start deviating from patterns you're doomed! LOL It's nice being able to put your own touch on something.

Great quilts - I like the one with Chester! I've looked at that pattern several times!

Thank you Debbie!
And BlueChicken, I have about zero creativity, so I'm extra thankful for all of you on here who have it in abundance! And I'm really ADD, which is supposeably to make one more creative, but I think it just makes it harder for me. lol!!!! So I don't know how much deviating I'll be doing. lol!!!! :-)

It's SO much easier to decide when it's someone else's quilt... there's no risk involved. :-)

True, but I've also seen your work and you, along with quite a few others, are very creative!! :wink:

Thank you! :)

Gorgeous! Love the green one.

Are the blocks sewn together? The top right block needs a piece rotated...

They are all so nice. The cat one is my favorite. Love your quilting pals. I have the same problem taking pictures of quilts here.

I see you have 2 inspectors doing their jobs :lol:

Very nice work!

Thank you Mamagus! And extra thanks as I didn't notice that block! Good eye! And nope, it's not sewn together yet! :-)

Thanks Littlehud & SewnSewer2! :D

Nice work, exciting color choices, and so productive!
You are a quilter to contend with, my friend <g>

Looks like your quilts had lab work and a cat scan. lol Your quilts are lovely.

Diana,
I just love your quilts!! They are so pretty & you have done a beautiful job making each one of them. Thank you so much for sharing them with all of us, here on the Quilting Board.
Cheryl
:D :D :D

Very nice! I have used that same cat block. Aren't they fun? My fave color is green so I'm kind of partial to that one :D

Great quilts! I love the animals getting in the pictures! Why do they love quilts so much? My dog does the exact same thing!

Thank you Omak & MadQuilter! :D You're quick MadQuilter, for thinking of the lab work & cat scan! lol!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Thank you Cheryl, you say the nicest things!!! I appreciate it! :-)

Very nice!!

Thanks CindyBee & Chele!! :D I was leary when I first tried the cat pattern, I think because there was so many directions to it! But after making one or two, they really were pretty easy.
And Chele, too bad we didn't have an animal phychologist on here, to finally explain why the brattlys always have to be on the material! Staking their claim? lol!!! :D

Thank you Pocollie! :D

I love all three of the quilts...Sewnsewer has a great idea for making the cat quilt bigger, but I have to say my fav is the last one...the green..its going to be a beauty...even the cat thinks so!!

Very nice quilts Diana. Think I might try the leaf one for fall - I's better start now!!!

Thank you Sandpat! :-)

Thank you Beachlady! :-) I think the autumn leaves was also a Debbie Mumm pattern. I'd like to make it again too, using better colors next time!
:-)

Thank you Loretta! :D

Diana,

Nobody is perfect. I wouldn't take the border apart. All three quilts are charming. I have a cat who would love to meet yours. He also likes to participate in all of my quilting and sewing.

i can see improvement with each one you work on....are these just tops? are you machine quilting or hand quilting?....:-)

Thanks Mpspeedy & Gcathie!! :D The leaves one is done, the cat just a top. I'm a 'quilt in the ditch' quilter, no hand quilting.
Diana :-)

those are fantastic...... great job!!!!!!

Thank you Beverly!!! :D

Very nice! Thanks for sharing
