It was time to stitch up my purple block for Rainbow Scrap Challenge for my boy's donation quilt - that was easily done. I laid them out on the bed and had a count and discovered I only needed one more block. So I made an executive decision and made the final block, this time in teal. Surely the colour teal will be selected in the next month or two, I reasoned.
With these two last blocks done, I decided I may as well assemble the quilt top. I don't have room for a design board and often use my bed to lay blocks out and rearrange them. A couple of afternoons at the sewing machine soon had the black sashing in place. Then the black borders were added, and voila, the top was finished.
The top is finished
Part way through making these blocks I had run out of the original black and white fabric, so had to go to my LQS and buy some more. I couldn't get exactly what I was using previously, but thought the black and white polka dots blended in quite well. Hopefully I will get this layered and pinned up shortly.
Gemma has been curled up some days in her little hidey hole in her cat tower. A good place to snooze on these winter days, especially when the rain is pouring down. She is not too keen on going outside then, she hates getting her little paws wet and doesn't like the wind in her face! She's such a diva.
She's all nice and cozy in here

Oh she is tucked away so nicely
Gemma has found the perfect spot on a rainy day. Finn doesn’t like to get his feet wet either!
Great quilt top! Your two black and while prints compliment each other nicely. Another wonderful donation quilt.
I like your dot fabric. It looks like Gemma continues to be a good companion
Your quilt top is gorgeous, Jenny. I love the combination of black and white with the colors. Sweet Gemma all snug as a bug- so cute. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement to me on yesterday's post. They truly meant a lot. Have a blessed day.
