A Quilt for Me

I couldn’t resist this Cori Dantini fabric when I saw it at a local quilt shop. The panels are adorable.

I found an earlier fabric lineavailable on Etsy and combined them to have 14 unique panels in 2 sizes.

I don’t usually do borders, but the pink and flowers seemed to tie everything together.

It’s backed with 4 different fabric that echo the collage elements in the prints.

It’s quilted with a closely spaced square spiral.

My cats love it as much as I do.

Today’s question: What was the last project you created for yourself?

  1. That is a great fabric. I hadn’t seen it before. You made a lovely quilt for you and your cats too! Lol!!! The kitties look happy.

  2. Right now I’m making quilts for each of our pets, which are “kind of” quilts for me. I can machine quilt them without anxiety about how they’ll turn out because I know they’ll be well-loved.

    Next week I’m taking four quilt tops to my machine quilter, and three of them are for our house, projects I set out on based on a whim or a vision. So all three were for me, and I can hardly wait to see them finished and then take a nap under each of them.

  3. I love this quilt – I wonder if the fabric is available here(UK)???
    The last thing I made for me was a bucket bag(Michelle Patterns)

  4. First HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you are going to do something fun today!
    I love this fabric and the quilt you made for yourself!
    Oh wow project for myself…a beaded peyote bracelet. I also journal everyday and do little scrappy things in the book!

  5. Your quilt is just perfect…it has Carrie written all over it !

  6. such a pretty quilt 🙂 I haven’t made anything for myself for about 2 years – and that was a small lap quilt. I would love to make a supertote for me, but too many other projects on the go at the moment!
