Stashbusting - I cut five yards of assorted fabrics (mostly novelty prints) to make Bonnie's Scrappy Trips quilt. I worked on a few blocks Friday night, but they seem too busy to me. Maybe the novelties weren't a good idea for this pattern or I need to stand way back when I look at them. What do you think? I made the photo small to protect your eyes.
Jasper likes to sleep on my legs or lap when I'm sitting in my chair. He really stretched himself out today while I was trying to do the stitchery on the applique blocks from several posts ago. At one point, he almost fell through, but he caught himself just in time.
I like it very much....We can make it bigger ya know. LOL I did and it's still looking good. I keep wondering what I was thinking when I look at some of the fabrics I've bought, but if I cut them up small enough, they look wonderful...hehee
ReplyDeleteWell, off to sew a bit before bed. Take care....

I think I saw green frogs and PINK MICE! Love it, and so will you when you get it done. And when I enlarged it--my computer monitor did NOT faint.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great! and what kid wouldn't love to find everything on there??? I think cats are the same everywhere, nice they let us use "their" furniture once in a while isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYour Trip around the world is very beautiful. Although It's a lot of cutting and piecing! Good luck, Jeanne!
ReplyDelete(You need to rest with Jasper when you get tired for cutting!*S*)
When my DH sits in his chair, Baby Cat crawls us there and shares the chair with him. She snuggles up along side. When she stretches out, she lays across his legs. too. I like the scrappy quilt. Its great to have fun fabrics in there. I don't think it is too busy. Of course, I love scrap quilts.
ReplyDeleteI like it too. Scrappier the better I think. Great fun to search out all the fun things on here !
ReplyDeleteSomeone will just love all those novelty fabrics. I think it is glorious! That Jasper, what a card!! Tell him Jack sends his best regards!!
ReplyDeleteNovelty prints usually make me think of kids and I don't think a quilt can ever be too busy for a kid . . . looks fine to me.
ReplyDeleteI think it's fabulous -- fun to look at and find the different novelty prints!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks great to me. I love the fabrics you have in it.
ReplyDeleteAh, what a sweet kitty picture!
ReplyDeleteAhhh - the life of a cat!!! Couldn't you just love a life like that?
ReplyDeleteI think the novelty prints are great - what fun it will be to find all the different little things hidden in the little blocks. Carry on!
I think our quilting partners sit in our laps to make us stay at it longer. That is what mine claims. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are busy, but I think a child will ABSOLUTELY LOVE looking for all the little treasures to find :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for protecting my eyes *LOL* I think this will make a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteI think the scrappy trips blocks look great with all the novelties. Go ahead and keep sewing, its wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is looking great Jeanne, there's some lovely fabrics in it so what's not to like eh? The more the better. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt/top. I think TATW is magical..thanks for sharing.. Hugs Ellyx

I used scraps to create a Trip Around The World quilt as my Year 2000 quilt - yes it is busy, but I really like it. Yours looks great also! Sometimes its just nice to see a busy quilt because most of them are toned down.
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of Jasper. My Tyler does the same.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like you trip quilts. :o}
Hope you have a great day.
