Two weeks in, I only have strip sets sewn and partially cut for two tops...
Archie is, of course, a big help.
...two tops are complete...
...and one quilt is totally finished. I tried to get a good shot of this one, but this kept happening:
You'd think I sewed catnip into the batting.
No toys are involved here -- he's just a wacky, wacky cat.
I think this one will have to do.
It's photographing very pink, but the "Emu Tracks" swirly fabric really has a red base. I used red thread for the quilting throughout -- outlining the zipper teeth, then straight lines in the green and wavy in the print. This was on craft size batting, so it's a good little kid size (about 34" x 45"). I'll probably make a couple of the others this same size, but the two completed tops are bigger. There's a lot of quilting to be done!
Sorry for all the gratuitous Archie pix. I couldn't resist.
Happy weekend, all!

I just love your kitty!! Along with being beautiful, he's a silly goose! Ahh, if only I wasn't allergic to cats I'd have one like him LOL
Love this quilt, can't wait to make something like it. Thanks for posting the picture from the CMQG. I was there but didn't get to meet you, maybe next time.
I love the zipper teeth quilt and the fabric combination in the black/white/orange/purple one. What is that fabric?
great Archie pix - he has such a beautiful face. love the action shots on your wonderful quilt. congrats on the finish.
What a great photo series with your kitty! That quilt has such a striking design, and those fabrics are great. Even the name -- Emu Tracks -- is pretty spectacular. (I had to google the difference between emu and ostrich because I wasn't certain...)
beautiful quilt! and darling cat!
The quilts are great and keep up the gratuitous Archiepix. Love that cat!
Love the quilting - and the colors - on the zipper quilt. Can't wait to see the rest!
You have been busy. I love that last quilt, Kate. Very effective.
The pics of Archie made me laugh out loud. Lovely photos - and a great quilt.
