I've been making good progress on my Highland Cow/Cattle Call quilt top. As you might recall, I entered this quilt in the quilt show that will be held at the end of this month. Yup, I entered a quilt I have not yet made. 😬 Here's how it looked last week. Labelling each cut of fabric is a MUST.
Here's a few progress photos.
This quilt goes together very easily.
Here is my completed top.
And the backing I ordered from Spoonflower. There's quite a good margin around the print, so I will need to work very carefully in order to avoid having unprinted, bright white margins showing on the sides. I believe I have 40" of print from selvedge to selvedge.
I have it in my head that I should custom quilt this (40 x 45) top, but I'm not sure what I'd quilt in the background. Another concern is that this quilt needs to be totally done and have a hanging sleeve attached within the next two weeks. At the moment I'm kind of in "what on earth was I thinking??" mode. I need to finish binding one half of a side of Frolic and attach that hanging sleeve as well as make and attach labels on all three. I'll think on the quilting plan a bit longer while I finish a few more client quilts.
Speaking of client quilts, I have two of Pat's to show you this week. She chose Starlet for her first quilt.
It may seem as though I haven't done much in the past week. That's because I spent some time last week working on a project of my own. Come back Monday to see what I made. It'll be my turn on the Scrappy Improv blog hop and I'm excited to show you my creation.

ReplyDeleteLove your Highland Cow!
ReplyDeleteI love the highland cow pattern. Did you design it?
ReplyDeleteI am currently in the cutting stage of this Highland Coo quilt. I'm wondering if you have a pic of your finished quilt? Also, how did you quilt it?
ReplyDeleteI can't reply to you directly, but some images of the finished quilt can be found here: https://www.storiesfromthesewingroom.com/2021/10/busy-week.html
