Everybody else, you can look, but don't tell anybody, especially my sister!!! Yes, Frank and Kate, that means you too! I sat last night and finished a lap quilt for my sister Jane. She loves autumnal colours, hence the leaf motif. At the time she said she wanted a quilt from me, she had a cat, hence the small cartoon block of cats, and the similar binding. Each fabric has its own quilting pattern, mainly leaves; the gold borders need quilting, but that'll be done today, just with some abstract squiggles, methinks... I forgot about them when I added the binding, and thought I would be as well to finish that before finishing the quilting. I may live to regret that... but it's too late to worry about it now. Even mitred my corners...
I very rarely make useful quilts, and I'm wondering why, to be honest, I thoroughly enjoyed making this one, and the two cat lap quilts I made for my son and daughter in law as birthday presents (there will be photos when they come back from honeymoon). Meanwhile... see what you think of Jane's quilt.
