Batik jellyroll race lap quilt

Finished the second batik quilt (after moving the cat off it - he obviously felt he needed some love while I was stitching the binding on!)
So good to be able to complete all the free motion quilting on my new machine without having to stop all the time to re-thread it (as my old machine was doing!). I did a leaf motif all over, with a wide stipple in the border.

  1. Beautiful! I love the leaf motif. And I have a cat who LOVES to inspect quilts, too.

    1. Thanks for visiting Susie! If my hubby is not on the sofa to provide a warm resting spot then the cat heads for me, even if I have a sewing table blocking the way! Cheers!

    2. Nice colors. :) Cats and quilts. . . . so inseparable. I keep having to move our calico because she ADORES the one I'm quilting now and keeps climbing onto it. The looks she gives me as I shift her off it. . .

  4. Lovely quilt. Seems like Quilts in progress are a cat magnet, both of mine are the same way.
