It’s no wonder…

…that my quilts have a touch of “cat” in them.  There I was, working feverishly on my “finish up Friday” project, when I turn to press and what do I spy

It's all about comfort!

one of my friends in a basket which is on top of another basket (apparently I thought height might discourage this) both filled with scrappy strips.  Perhaps she thought she was helping “press” those strips for me…oh well.

On to Friday.  Earlier this week I was trying to decide on today’s project…I have MANY to choose from don’t ya know…and this one was nagging at me.  I started it back in March for Aprils Saturday Scrap Club.  I couldn’t be at Aprils meeting so this was a teaser of what was to come in May.

what's wrong with this block?

So in May I brought this in

in progress

and there it sat.  I worked on all sorts of other things…you’ve seen some, but I just couldn’t finish those last three blocks (I was going to do six more but let’s just call it done).  Mind you I had all the pieces pieces and parts parts ready to go.  So finally today I finished the top!!  Just in time for Saturday Scrap Club tomorrow…yeh I’m milking this one as long as I can!

bouillabaisse

This is Bouillabaisse!  I don’t think I want a border on this one…unless…………

So, do you like it?  What did you move along this week??

I LOVE it ! Can't wait to see it in person. Absolutely needs no border. Add it to my wish list, please.

Thanks Barbara...I really don't like putting borders on so now you've given me permission not to!

The quilt looks awesome!!! No borders are needed. I bought the pattern and added it to my long list. It's so much fun working with scraps.

Rethinking the border option. What will you use for a binding as it is ?

What a great looking quilt! Will you show us how to make it? It is so graphic. Border, hmmm, might have to see an option to make a final decision but it looks great.

Without a border I think I'll bind it in black (of course my eyes won't like it).
