Finished the quilt top!

I mentioned in my previous post that my mother and I completed the quilt top. Here it is:

I’m very happy with how it turned out – it’s beautiful and focuses attention on the birds.

Of course, that was take #2. Take #1 looked (unsurprisingly) like this:

Tigress is charmingly convinced the quilt top belongs to her. As soon as I set it out, she jumped onto it, and spent the rest of the afternoon curled up on it. (Well, except during a brief period where she was removed for photography.)

And since the last two posts were sadly devoid of kittens, I offer you a bonus kitten! Two bonus kittens, in fact, playing “Got Your Tail!” on my ironing board. A popular game, at least in this household.

    I like the quilt top very much, with or without kitten! I hope your mother was pleased with how it looks and that you are at last going to use the pieces she painted for you.
