It's time for Thursday Likes! Please visit LeeAnna to link up with more participating blogs. I have focused all week on getting this quilt top complete. I'm getting there slowly but surely. Although I have more blocks to add, I will also have 2 borders to complete this quilt. It should measure 90" square when finished. I've been thinking about how I'm going to quilt it. The original quilt made by Lynn Wilder has beautiful feather in certain areas. The blocks are quite small, most are 5" square, so the pieces within these blocks are even smaller. Many blocks are made up of 1" squares. I've been leaning towards using an edge to edge pantograph but I will wait until the quilt top is complete before I decide for sure. I just don't think my custom quilting will be very visible in such a busy quilt.
I've been working on a new sock. I got this gorgeous yarn and just couldn't wait to start. The yarn is from Turkey and is made up of such vibrant colors. I love self striping yarn. It does all the hard work for you!
My daughter bought this Sumo Cat Wrestler for the cats. It's been peppered with catnip! They sit next to it and play with it but they're not overly crazy about it. Cats are so finicky. You just never know what they'll like!
The prompt this week asks us if we decorate for Thanksgiving. I just made this wall hanging last month so I only have one quilted wall hanging for the holiday. I do have a few kitchen towels with turkeys that I will display once we get closer to the holiday. I don't think Thanksgiving has the same power as Christmas which seems to take over every other holiday. Christmas is just too big!
Have a great weekend!!
