Quilt for Ripley
#1
Well we just got a kitty on Friday and that very night I decided to make her a little mini-quilt. I've pieced two tops before this one, but never completed the quilting process.
I cut up two old shirts of mine (they said 100% cotton, but they stretched SO much compared to normal fabric that I found it hard to work with). The result is as follows. Please don't laugh and don't look too close because this quilt is really a wreck. I've never done binding before, and actually used four separate binding strips, etc. Anyway, I've been trying not to point out the flaws in my own work, but trust me I know how bad this one is.
The good thing is - Ripley doesn't seem to care!

It's funny how the quilts you think you'll sail right through from start to finish usually give you the hardest time. Quilters know how to persevere and get it done....and now you are one of them. Ripley loves his quilt and isn't that the best test of a project?
