K-that is a great quilt. Love the scrappy look and all the different colors. You hand quilted? Impressive...can you post a close-up of the quilting? Did you do it in the ditch or an all over pattern?

Okay, just went back and saw the quilting work - it's stunning. what perfect little stitches K. :)

KWhite, the quilt is beautiful! Your hand quilting looks so perfect and precise. I'm very impressed. Can I ask how long it took for the hand quilting?

That isone beautiful scrappy 9 patch! Lovely quilting also! I have a Cat that loves me so much, she gives me love nips! She hasn't drawn blood for a while, but she has done in the past! All the cats LOVE fabric of anykind. :lol:

K-White, I love your hand quilting!
I am going to attempt hand quilting on my current project
and hope my stitches look like yours.......

(you must reveal your secrets for hand quilting----
and don't say 20 years of practice :evil: ---I can't wait that
long to do a decent job....)

The nine patches are gorgeous!

I have a PVC frame that I did the most of it in but at the end the floor frame became too big so I pu the last round in a hoop. I just went from corner to corner on all the blocks except for the last round. I got bored of the X pattern so on the last round I went straight through the center of each block. I am really bad at choosing quilting patterns so this was simple and straight forward. The quilt is 72 inches square.

A watercolor is on my bucket list.

Very very nice! Your hand quilting in amazing! Great job!

I didn't work on it full time for the whole time but I think I started to quilt it about three years ago. It took about an hour per block so 144 hours approx. I got really bored by time I got to the last round and switched up the quilting pattern. I have ADD so I get antzy and need a change.

Woohoo! It's pretty!
And it's being inspected too! Looks like Innocent likes it too!

I love a lot of color. Kitty likes it too.

Wow K!!!! Great scrappy and your hand quilting is wonderful!!!

And I'm with Chele re the Evil one! :twisted: :lol:

FOR SHAME!!! Trust me, I hear her talking about that cat. The poor thing can't even walk across a room without her haranguing him!!! Poor baby!!! She only ever talks mean to him!!! :cry: :cry: :( :(

Absolutely love your nine patch quilt!!! Beautiful!!!

You've heard 'treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen' right? :twisted:

Like I told you before Gai. The next opening in your home is reserved for this one. Let's see how long the birds last with Evil in the house!!!!

Very pretty quilt, k. Love the bright colors. :D

And I have to say, that cat would bite or scratch me only once. It'd be dessert for my dog the second time. :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's for men, honey, human ones!

HAH! Obviously you don't know parrots! I'll bet Poppy against any cat! It would be a bloodbath! Not only because of that wicked beak, but because I am the ALL POWERFUL ALPHA BITCH of the house, and demand obedience and harmony. Except I allow Tuffy to beat up Labzilla. It's too funny.


Once, when my (ex)DH (that's damned, not dear) and I had a fight, he yelled "You love that damned cat more than you love me!" Now mind you, were were still newlyweds. I looked him dead in the eye, and very calmly and totally sincerely stated "Darling, when I have had you twelve years we'll discuss it. Not a minute before".

Of course, that wasn't the reason for the divorce. If I remember correctly, that had something to do with multiple black eyes, etc.

Gai, Your black eyes or his? I'm guessing his. :lol:

Nope, you'd be guessing wrong. :(

It's beautiful. I love the scrappy look. And cute kitty too. :D

you give me hope....I do adore your nine patch!
Soon, not sure how long, I will have a nine patch to show off.
I have a couple of nine patch blocks made, you know test blocks...
guess, I am going to have to keep going and complete a real nine patch quilt. again thank you for sharing!

Your kitty is so cute!! And I like your quilt too! :D

Wonderful traditional scrappy quilt. It looks so welcoming. Great job!

Love it! Doesn't it make a great color study? Let's you go out of the box and put fabrics together.

Yep there was little planning on that one. I did move some finished blocks around to get the most random look.

Really colorful K. Your stitching is so perfect! Wish I could do that well.

I LOVE IT.... I need to get more fabric so I can make one. You did an awesome job. I sew love the 9 patch.

Stunning quilt...cool cat...and your stitching is really good. I am practicing like mad....like Joan said, I don't have 20 years to get it right. Thanks for sharing your masterpiece and the kitty mastermind who helps with the designing...

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L hand quilting. I envy your perfect stitches. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous! And hand quilted--no wonder you're glad it's finished!

Absolutely great job. I like the fabrics.

I just love this quilt. Looks like I could just wrap myself in it and snuggle. Great colors!
