Thank you Patti, it really does look good in real life.

OOOOO a calico QI -- I absolutely *love* calico kitties :-) -- and she looks like she is doing an excellent job of inspecting that lovely quilt, too. Are those your toesies we see in the bottom of that last photo, HMMMM :-)??? CiaoMeow >^;;^<

Hi Tia,

Yes, they are my toes - before pic, they look really nice now with their party paint on. I have three calico girl furbabies - Mishka, Cami and Floyd (named after pink Floyd).

Thank you Louise.

Thank you.

I actually have four furbabies (all female) and one biiiiggggg dog - Otto - cross between a doberman and a Rottweiler (I think that's spelt correctly).

Thats looking really nice Di. I love the dark green in the outer border, it adds a bit of zing.

I love it, it's so masculine and yet so beautiful, like a painting is beautiful. You QI is a hoot on that corner! LOL

I really love how you found fabric to tie together the colors of the horse and the jockey's colors.

I'm not into horses or horseracing, but I love looking at your quilt just because of the colors. Beautiful!

I have since quilted and am about to sew on the binding. Pic of that later when finished.

Thank you Karen, Cami does her job well.

Thanks Kay. That's my son-in-law in the picture.

Very pretty!! I like the abstract print in the border!!

Thank you TerriLee.

It's finished - yeah.

These are pictures of the quilt's borders and binding.

[IMG] Just a little about the material: The coloured patterned material was a pillowslip, the cream coloured border was an off-cut from a sheet, the dark brown border is from a single bed sheet, the light green strips are off-cuts and the dark green border around the picture and in the outer border are from a green tablecloth, the binding is also from a single bed sheet.

The batting is 100% wool and the backing was a cotton curtain. [IMG]

I can be very frugal when I need to be. My daughter loves it.

Very pretty. I like those soft colors.
