This is a lap quilt made for the boy who is one of my relatives who lives in Okinawa.
The stitch in a ditch by macine ended up with stitch BY the ditch, but turned out pretty decent done for the first attempt finishing all by machine.
I hope he would love this fish prints that my fabric angel on this board had sent me.
By the way how can I call the orange tape shown slightly from the bindings in English???

Wonderful Job Panda. I love the cat too. He looks like he would be a perfect playmate for my Evil kitty. Maybe I will pop him into the next box I ship to you.

kwhite, ours is already rascal and naughty. Please don't ship me any more EVIL one!!

fantastic quilt. love the kitty. so precious :D

Love Kittie and the Quilt. Great job.

Kitty is so cute!! And so is the quilt -- you did a great job!

Great job!

Really cute, Panda!
Love the kitty too!
Don't believe Kwhite when she says the kitty is evil. She loves him, she just doesn't want to admit it.

Now, orange tape? Not sure what you mean...got a picture?

Great job, Panda!!! Your kitty sure seems to love it! :D

The orange tape - are you meaning the narrow border you have, right before your black binding?

yes, this is it! A paw shows it!

Not MY paw..panda

Great job! Your quilt is beautiful, and I'm sure the little boy will love it. Your kitty certainly does! I think the orange you're talking about is just a very thin border.

Wonderful quilt for a boy! And your quilt inspector is doing a great job too!

Oh you did a great job Panda. There isn't one bad part of this quilt. The colors and design are really prefect. I think it will be a big hit. Nice job on trying something new. You did it!

Great job! I also love your kitty.

I don't really know what you would call that orange band. It's kind of hard to tell on my monitor. Is it "piping"? Piping is a tube of fabric sewn into a seam that has a string inside it to give definition. It is commonly used in upholstery.

Very nice. I'm sure he'll love the quilt.

Love your quilt!!! Kitty approves too!!! :D :D :D
If that is double folded fabric, that was sewn in with the border, then it is called a flange :wink:

Kwhite....be nice with my grandkitty!!! :shock:

What a wonderful quilt for a special young man! You did a very nice job with everything. Is that orange possibly done with chenille? It sure adds a nice touch to the quilt.

Piping is the word you were looking for.

Good job Yumi! I like the flange, it sure adds a pop to it. I just finished my first machine quilting too. As soon as I get a binding on it I will post pics.

Nice quilt. I'm sure that it will be loved
I have done that on a quilt or two. I have fogotten what it is called.

Panda - what a cute quilt with the winking kitty. Looks you have been machine quilting of a while. I believe the orange tape is called a flap unless it has a cord inside then it is piping.

Great job!!!!! :D

Very good job... I guess there is lots of names for the orange...I'll call it skinny orange thing.........I hope you and your family are ok in all the natural disasters going on in Asia...big hug :D :D :D

Well, that kitty is sure fetching! The paw is pointing to a flange, if it is a folded piece of fabric with nothing inside. It is piping if it has a cord inside. It is a beautiful quilt!
Even we here in the US have different names for things in different areas of the country. If that skinny orange thing is dimensional, that is if you can stand it up and it is only sewn on one side, then most would call it a flange. :lol:

Panda - your quilt is going to be a big hit with the young boy. The kitty sure likes it. :) The orange between the quilt body and the binding would be a narrow border (I think that is what you are asking). Unless it sticks out from the quilt, then it would be called piping or a cookie crumb catcher :) Very pretty, love the fish!

Great quilt youme. The orange flange is a neat touch. You are so clever! Evil kitty is cute too!

Ladies,
The "flange" could be just a narrowly folded fabric sand between bindings and quilt wthout cord??? yes???
That is what I did to the orange thing.

Great job!! And your kitty is too cute!

Kyia

Yes Panda, that is a flange. :lol:

Youme, looks Great! congratulations! And your cat looks just like my Lucy. kathy

Thanks, Shemjo!

Lovely quilt....pussy cat just loves those fish...I think the colours are beautiful and the orange really sets it off nicely.

Great quilt Youme, and the cat is too cute!

Panda, I think the word you're searching for is 'piping'. What do the rest of you think? It looks like orange piping next to the binding to me.

That looks great. I love your cat.

Adorable quilt. You did a great job. Love the orange flange. I would say your inspector has approved the quilt.

The boy's Mom sent me three pineapples that were produced in Okinawa with the message that said "Thanks for the quilt for my boy, his favorite color is blue and he loves the quilt soo much ", It made my day and made a good dessert after dinner that day!!

Boy Panda, I sure do wish my first attempt at machine work was as beautiful as yours. Well done!!

Nice job, Panda. Pretty kitty.

Great job!!! He'll love it!!
