Meet 'Nemo' the cat.
Will has a cat named this and since they are both orange,
he stuck with this name.
I will make another for Ethan at least.
It wasn't a horrible knit to make all the pieces
and I think the second one will go more quickly.
I did not like all the seaming....
I might try knitting in the round and see what happens.
But it is a very well written pattern
and I could see what needed to be done each step of the way!
After I looked at the first blog pic of the two Hunter Star squares,
I could see I pieced the second block wrong-it was in the reverse.
I ripped it out and finished the other two blocks!
Now you can see the secondary pattern these blocks create.
Since there is no more fabric in the stash,
I have chosen some similar prints and will make a small medallion quilt
out of this central theme.
More to come.
I pieced all the squares together for this little lap quilt-
see how pretty the kitty blocks are?!
Happy me; Millie brought over a finished top for quilting!
The frame is so much happier with a quilt on board.
I will be using a pantograph to finish this one.
And since the needles were empty....I cast on a sock to clear the palate!
It was like coming home after a long trip........!
Nemo is adorable - well done!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I didn't notice the problem with the quilt block. I need to go back and look more closely.
The yarn for your sock is intriguing the way it is striping. What is it?
That's a very sweet kitty! That star quilt is just amazing. It will be a perfect center for what I am sure will be something else spectacular.
ReplyDeleteYou have been so busy these past few weeks you are making my head spin. I love all you have made and can't wait to see that dye, it is going to be beautiful.

I am so impressed with your cat. He looks like a lot of work, but he turned out to be adorable. As is the cat lap quilt. I definitely have to buy a charm pack and make a lap quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour sewing machine is both gorgeous and terrifying!
Nemo is the PERFECT name for the little kitty! Congrats on an ADORABLE new pet in your family.
ReplyDeleteNemo is a purrfect name for an orange cat!
ReplyDeleteSooooo this great lady I know taught me the habit of reading a magazine back to front, but when I try to catch up on her blog in the same fashion, I end up asking questions in the first post that have already been answered in the previous post -- whoops! 😁 The Hunter Star quilt is just gorgeous -- and the kitty blocks are adorable. Lots of quiltiness to love in this post!
