It's machine quilted - zig zag over the seams and swirls (like a snail's shell) on the border and in the open spaces of the calico snails.
It's a throw for our little purple sofa which has suffered at the hand (or rather claws!) of the cat. The kitty in the picture is Pépite, our newest quilt inspector. :D |

I love it K!!!

Marvelous quilt - I love the two blocks together. The snails border the ladders well. Very nice!! Such a cute kitty :-D
|
Looks great. I love both of those patterns, but never thought to put them together. Combined they turn into a wonderful quilt.
|
That is a beautiful quilt. I love your new quilt inspector. So cute.
|
That block combination looks amazing!
I never would have thought to combine them! Great job! |
Love purple....quilt is beautiful.......and although I am not a kitty person, your's is adorable........

Beautiful quilt, just love the combination of blocks.. :thumbup:
|
Thank you everyone! :-D
Pépite just came back from the vets where she had her first shots - she's a bit subdued to say the least, and I think she's got a sore throat because she's uncharacteristically silent! :shock: |
Beautiful quilt. Love the pattern!
|
Great job K!! Love the colors also! I did the 'monkey wrench/snails tail' for one of my Black and White blocks. It was a fun one!

I really like how the one pattern frames the other pattern.
Very interesting! It looks wonderful on your sofa. Hope kitty only sleeps on the beautiful quilt and doesn't do to it what he did to the sofa . :-( But kitties are sew cute :-) |
This is beautiful, but the kitten is adorable! :D
|
I love it, but look at that little face on it. I love your furbaby.
|
The quilt is lovely and looks just perfect on your sofa. Kitten is cute too.
