It started with a fabric audition. Colours and patterns, light and dark.
A week into the project and I decided the layout and colour choices weren’t quite working, so I pulled everything apart and started again. The green background blocks were removed.
Zig Zags became an obsession. The green fabric was re-introduced.
Week two and it still wasn’t coming together. The dogs had to go! There was some serious late night un-stitching happening LOL. It nearly ended up in the bin.
We did some familial brain-storming and No. 1 daughter had an idea that solved all my problems. Hallelujah! I was still trying to fit Frank-the-Pug in somewhere, but she (also) took a firm stand and set him aside. I promise he will be back!
Daisies were stitched.
Mess was made.
Kitties got in the way. I mean he REALLY got in the way, I had to cut out my applique shapes around him. There is a cat shaped hole in the middle of my Heatnbond.
I ran out of fabric and had to make compromises.
And finally a gloriously happy quilt emerged.
It’s off to be quilted… as soon as the cat removes his furry little butt and I remove all the cat fur! Fiona I may have to send him up the hill with the quilt, he seriously won’t leave it alone LOL.

Aren’t animals so helpful when you are creating? My dogs loved to give all my batting fringe edges, usually when I was sandwiching it and the top together. Dear wee souls. NOT. wWouldnt be without them though.
