Painted Cats of Sorrento

 2015 Finish-Along

19. Kitty Wedding Ring

The Laurel Burch fabric reminds me of the painted ceramics of Sorrento, Italy.

 

Here are some photos of the process. 

I have not had a chance to measure or photograph the whole quilt at this time 

so more details will eventually follow . . .

 

This quilt was started in a class with the Narragansett Bay Quilters Guild, 

East Greenwich, RI in 2008. I can't believe it was that long ago. 

Of course the only way I know the date is my Quilty friend Peggy-doodle, 

who also took the class, finished her project and has a label to provide the date in question. 

Thank goodness for friends that don't judge.

The class was taught by a wonderful quilt artist here in RI. 

After the class I just packed up all the fabric, brought it home and promptly forgot about it 

- for about 6 1/2 years! Then the same instructor was gathering a UFO class - 

the premise - bring a quilt you want to have finished and if you succeed, 

you receive 1/2 the class fee back. 

EUREKA - not only the motivation to finish the quilt - 

but also the quilt artist  to show me what to do! 

At the start, I was just hoping to get 9 rings together for a wall hanging 

but the bits a pieces started to come together and I was having too much fun to stop. 

It grew to 5 x 7 (35 rings). 

 

 

 

 

The quilt is finally finished, except for the label and a hanging sleeve 

 for a local show in September - but of course there is plenty of time for that.  

The backing is flannel so it'll be nice and warm for these crazy New England winters. 

Finally a finish to link up with 

Crazy Mom Quilts,
