My Self-Imposed Challenge
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have so many orphan blocks and scraps! I decided to take an orphan block and design a quilt around it using the scraps that were cluttering my sewing room. This and a clean(er) sewing room is the end result. Quilting's not too great on this one.....it was my first date with a new machine and frame. Of course, my Inspector was on it IMMEDIATELY!

Very clever
 
It is great! Good for you for taking a block and designing a quilt around it. Kitty knows a nice quilt when she sees it.

Beautiful quilt and you did a great job on the quilting.

Great quilt out of leftovers! Why is it that spreading out a quilt on the floor is like rolling out the red carpet at the Oscars? It's as if every pet or person in the far corners of the house race out to see who can get on it first!

Love the colour choices! Beautiful!

Beautiful, I am using up leftover strips from other quilts I've made. It will be very scrappy.

KiwiQuilter 11-12-2011 04:53 PM

The inspector clearly approves :)

Carron 11-12-2011 05:27 PM

Well, it appears that your inspector is cleaning his/her feet before pussy footing across this beautiful quilt.:thumbup::thumbup: one thumps up for the quilt and one for the kitty.

LadyElisabeth 11-12-2011 05:29 PM

What a good idea, and my favorite colors.

Love the colors! Design is my greatest weakness I think--right up there next to applique! Great job.
