Something Done

I've finished with this quilt. Well, okay, maybe not totally. I've still got the hanging sleeve to do. The sleeve is created and pinned onto the back of the quilt, all I need to do is tack it in place. Oh and I need to block the quilt yet too.

I've named the quilt Here's Looking at You Cat. Sue gets credit for coming up with the name.


I've made a start on a new quilt. I've been wanting to work in a more abstract way and so I'm hoping to create a few quilts to see if I can get the hang of it and if I like it. So here's my start.


I think this quilt will be a sort of "experiment as I go" kind of process. I don't know where this will end up. Did you notice I'm using one of my two-color fabric gradations??

  1. I have discovered that working abstracting as you go is not as easy as it looks! Good Luck with your ideas!

  2. I love the way the cat is peaking up from the bottom of the quilt! Too cute!

    Looks like your abstract quilt is off to a good start!

  3. Love the cat! This one came out great, Terri. And the abstract one is starting off well. I agree with Debra: working this way proved too challenging for me, but it looks like you've got the hang of it. Good luck!

  4. LOL Love the name for the new piece.

    Working in abstract is both freeing and frightening. Because there are no "rules" to follow, you can often feel both reckless in your construction and/or paralyzed by the vast number of options available to you. I'll be interested to hear about your experiences. :D

  9. Speaking in an abstract way...LOL!

    I like the repitition of the circles in different sizes and forms. Good idea. The colors are lovely too, of course! I would guess there is a difference between working impulsively only versus working on the fly, abstractly, still with some sort of a plan in mind.

  10. Tell Sue "bravo" for the quilt name. It couldn't be better!

    I really like the new contemporary quilt you are making. Looks like it is going in a very fun direction. Looking forward to seeing where you take it :)
