Made with a Comma charm pack, Kona black and a few additional Comma squares, it measures 42"x56", and this is the only picture I have without Archie sitting on it -- for some reason, that cat LOVED this quilt, in all its various stages. There was so much hair on it I had to clean the dryer vent twice.
The quilting gets a little lost in the black, but I started off-center and just did one big spiral, using the edge of my walking foot as a guide. The lines are roughly a half inch apart. The whole thing got torqued a little out of shape from quilting continually in one direction, but I was able to tug it back to square...eventually.
I am definitely not crazy about going 'round and 'round in circles, but I do like the look when it's all done. And after washing when it gets all crinkly, I love it even more!
The back is Comma fabric, too. I wanted my message to be subtle, and I also didn't want to applique their names on it, so the strip reads K+M in Morse Code. It took Katie and Mike a couple weeks to figure it out, so I think I succeeded.

Nice job. The quilt and the quilting are terrific. I love Archie.
I'm not a fan of many new fabric lines but I love Comma. Archie must like a grid. Or maybe it's the colors? I have a friend whose cat will lay on red fabrics.
I love this quilt. I did a little gasp when I saw that wonderful green binding! And then a big gasp at the back - wow!!
That is an awesome quilt. Love the design, the fabrics, the quilting and the cat - not necessarily in that order. Just wonderful!
Fantastic quilt. Love that the kitty won't leave it alone. They are cute little critters, aren't they ?~!
