I quilted it all over with large straight lines to create a squares effect, and machine bound it.
It is based on the Radio Waves pattern by Julie @ Jay Bird Quilts.
I made it back in January/February - originally as a large quilt but I didn't like it that big and split it into two smaller quilts (I gave the other one to Tracey for her 40th) and this one has been waiting for the right reason to complete it.
Of course, nosy parker Rumbles had to get in on the action and try to give the
quilt a cat-comfort test!
The charity auction was held last night and Brian says this sold for $160. Bargain!

Hi everyone!
Nice Jen! Even though they are almost the same, the two quilts look very different because of the red squares layout. Another great finish, and it's really nice that you donated it to charity.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy - it is nice to get another one off my FAL list too!
DeleteLove your quilt! The red blocks really add fun and movement! And I love red!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam! Red, black, grey is an easy colour combo.
DeleteBeautiful quilt. I love that ginger fur ball of gorgeousness :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, that ginger fur ball is only gorgeous when he is asleep! In typical ginger cat split personality style, he can switch in an instant from lying in your lap purring to suddenly trying to rip your arm off with his teeth - so moody! We have to put warnings out when new visitors start to pat him and have considered putting disclaimer signs on the front door LOL!
DeleteI love the colours in this quilt, I adore anything is grey actually, but your red really shines here! Well done on raising money for charity!
ReplyDeleteHi! Yes grey is a really good colour for all sorts of combos and so popular in modern design at the moment too. Thanks for visiting!
