Isn’t this the cutest print?? Its a range called Meow Magic from a lady called
Edith Ellen. I brought it off ebay a few years back, it came with all the marching fabric from the range, it was a sample I think. I had the intention of making a baby quilt for one of the girls, well they are getting a bit old for that now and it has been sitting in the back of one of my storage tubs for ages. And now a girlfriends pregnacy is ending, I felt the urge to cut it up.
So I cut up 28 4 inch squares and thought I'd make those into a 4 patch and then alternate them with the larger squares. Something quick and simple. Here it is plonked on the felt wall, ready to sew the strips together. A bit busy maybe and not too sure about the yellow now I see it like this.....
And despite me starting a new project and saying that last weeks WIP had to be done, I haven't touched it since taking the photo for the blog! I got stuck back into my log cabins. I have added a 1 inch border of black tones, like below and then arranged the smaller log cabins around the outside. All I need now is to add another 1 inch border of black around the edges and then all finished! I am going to get this one professionally quilted. I want it to look nice. Well, nicer, you know what I mean. I haven't got enough of the black though, and am chasing some like the prints below. Any at your nearest Spotlight that you see, would you mind grabbing them for me! Pleassssseeee!

Those log cabins are looking lovely -- I hope you find the fabric you are looking for! Love those cats too.
Same collection of catsyou sent me?? With a yellow border the yellow squares will be better...maybe??
Love the work on the log cabins...really finishes the quilt. I have seen the dotty fabric at my SL store...want me to have a look??
I will check out my Spotty tomorrow night for you Helen - how much do you need?
Gorgeous cats - I agree with AJ on the yellow squares - you really need 5 - one on each row, and then a yellow border to tie it together. Then maybe a pink binding?
The logs look fantastic - I love the mini-blocks. Too cute!
I agree about the yellow, too. And I love the way you've finished off the logs with the charcoal look - perfect! Unexpected, but just right.
how much of those fabrics do you need? I think I have scraps of the one on the right...
Trying to stay away from SL but if I go there I will check it out. Didn't get a bloglines update for this post either, not sure what's going on there
lol, just realised I wrote pretty much the same as Joy in my reply on the new forum lol!!! Great minds must think alike ;)
I know NOTHING about quilting but since you asked about the yellow in the new sewing forum and I had looked at your blog the other day I thought I would also say - the yellow doesn't look right as it is. (Sorry!)
