Birds and hexagons is finito! well...the top is finished, the back is pieced, the batting washed and it's all ready for a-basting. Hopefully that will happen on Friday, then the fun begins. It will be hand quilted but there are no plans fixed in my mind yet - I think it's the sort of quilt that will tell me what to do as I go along. I'm looking forward to this next stage.... only about 13 weeks before I have to hand it over for the Darling Harbour Show so needles really need to be flashing!
A few sneaky close-ups...
A solution to the corner dilemma. I decided to leave the mistake in.
...and lastly, for my fellow cat lovers, here is my gorgeous puddy, Harley. She's a tortie Burmese, and will be turning 17 this June (but don't tell her that.) She thought she was so clever balancing on her scratching pole yesterday.

What a goal with the hand quilting, good luck with that. I'd love to see a bigger picture of this project once you have it basted.
What a gorgeous intriguing quilt - bravo on the hand quilting. Love to see it and wish I was better at it!
Oooo the quilt looks to be very bright and pretty!! I can hardly wait to see it when you are done :0)
Now that is one old cat! No way could I balance on top of a scratching post and she's older than me LOL.
