Do you remember the quilt-in-progress I posted about waaay back in September? (Started here, found a big problem that needed fixing here, then promptly dropped off the face of the blog...)
I fixed that blocks-too-dark problem, but then failed to take a photo of it before sending it off to the quilter. It's going to be ready any day now, so I'll post when I get it back. In the meantime, here's a little story about binding.
(Gosh, that sounds boring... but this is a craft blog, after all.)
I usually like a stripe-y binding, but I couldn't seem to find one in the right colors for this quilt. I used a polka-dot binding for my cousin's quilt and I really liked that, so when I saw these cute dots, I thought I was onto something:
However, I didn't have the fabrics from the quilt with me when I found this at the shop, so I wasn't 100% sure if it would match.
But then I noticed the name of the fabric pattern:
As I mentioned before, I bought the main fabric for this quilt because it reminded me of our little cat Biscuit's fur (Wow. I cannot believe it's been 6 months since he passed away. We still miss that little kitty every day.)
Sorry... getting all Debbie Downer there, but my point is that this is a quilt that commemorates a cat and the fabric is called "Cat Walk." So I bought it.
Got it home, put it next to some blocks I already had finished and... voila!
Looks great! Stay tuned for photos of the finished quilt...
love,
kelly
