I am in a happy rut....

I seem to be quite happy making the Double Slice Layer cake pattern in various shades of purple. So I am in a rut, but a happy one.

Here is the top I just finished. If you look closely at the border, that fabric has black cats in it. My two favorite things in one fabric! Purple and cats.

Thanks for looking. Maybe I will move on soon, but for now....happy. :)

I like your colors, and it made for a pretty quilt.

Very pretty. I just finished another double slice double size with matching pillow cover. Some of my favorite colors, it is for our bed. I have made lots and lots of double slice quilts, several different sizes.

I too like your colors. It is a bright and cheery quilt.

Love all the shades of purple.

Thanks, folks, for enjoying my purpleness with me.

Thanks for reminding me of this quick pattern. Love your purple cat quilt.

Finding your happy zone is part of why most of us like quilting. If it starts stressing you, then it is not your bliss anymore. You made a gorgeous quilt here. Another perspective is that you are simply curious about how many combinations of purple are there for you to make? That is an intellectual and very good question. I wouldn't call this a rut my friend. You are answering an age old question for all of us. Somebody has to do it!:thumbup:

Very pretty purple quilt. Sounds like you are a "happy camper".

tessagin 06-27-2016 07:04 AM

Looks lovely!

QM 06-27-2016 07:35 AM

That's a rut you don't want to get out of. I love it.

I love the way you think! Thanks. I like the idea that I am working on an age old question. :)

Love the combination of colors, so pretty!

I used some of that purple black cat fabric on the back of my niece's wedding quilt--it was the first thing she mentioned!

Lovely work. :) (Hi to Hot Rod!)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being happy! This quilt is awesome.
peace

Hot Rod says Hi back. He and I are getting ready to piece a backing for this quilt. :) He is a good quilt helper. He is, however, taking up most of the room on my sewing chair. I usually get the first 1/3 of the chair and he claims the rest. It's okay. He feels more involved this way. :)

How neat that you used this purple cat fabric too! It is pretty unique! Glad your niece liked it.

Very pretty fabrics...at least you're getting more done than most. It is difficult for me to find time to sew in the summer months. : (

WisWis 06-28-2016 02:52 AM

Lovely quilt.

Moonglow 06-28-2016 03:12 AM

This is a great pattern. Lovely choice of fabrics.

twinkie 06-28-2016 03:47 AM

Isn't it great doing something you love to do. Pretty quilt.

nls 06-28-2016 03:49 AM

Nice colors and pattern.

ontheriver 06-28-2016 04:54 AM

It's beautiful.

toverly 06-28-2016 06:08 AM

It's great to have a "go to" pattern that makes you happy. I have never made one but I do have several layer cakes that I need to make something. I may give this one a try.

Mariposa 06-28-2016 07:18 AM

Happy is good! Terrific top too!

jamsbuying 06-28-2016 08:41 AM

Nicely done. Love your happy colors.

So true. Do what makes you happy. Another benefit is that it's so pretty. BrendaK

roserips 06-28-2016 10:28 AM

I don't see a rut, just a beautiful quilt in my favorite colors!

annette1952 06-28-2016 11:00 AM

Very pretty quilt. I love the purples too. Great job & stay happy!

kaylfordsollimo 06-29-2016 05:52 PM

Pretty, purple, and quick, too - the cats are just a bonus for you.
