finished the quilt

I finished up the "Y" quilt and took it outside one sunny afternoon for photos.

It's sort of an unusual size...96" long and 64" wide, but the person it's going to is tall so I wanted it to be plenty long.

It was a fun quilt to make. Different than the usual quilt piecing.

I would like to make this pattern again...next time maybe trying to make each "Y" a different color?

That woud be tricky and I would need somewhere to lay out the whole thing where the cat wouldn't bother it.  That will definitely not be my next quilt.

Speaking of the cat...she absolutely loves this quilt.  "Get off of there you little varmint!"

Lot's of work with the lint roller ahead.

Fortunately the recipient has spoken fondly of past pet cats so I'm pretty sure there are no allergies.

Anyway a bright yellow for the back with a strip of some of the leftover scraps.

 "No Puss, I can't have you underneath there either!"

   That's the name tag there in the corner.  It's sewn down with the binding but I still need to stitch that one side down by hand.

I wanted a photo of the quilt from a distance but the sun was too bright for hanging it up there.

One more...

Changing the subject but I'm having a hard time adjusting to the time change. Once it gets dark I can't seem to get involved in anything...even sewing.

Then, as I was coming out of Lowes the other day I happened to glance down and notice something didn't look right...

I don't know if anyone else noticed or not.  It was sort of a relief that I didn't know I had on mismatched shoes before I went in...not sure if I would have driven home to change or not.

It was morning but I'm still blaming the time change!
