New quilt on the bed

Pin It
The other morning I walked into the bedroom after Builder Bob had gotten up and the bed was made but.....the quilt was lying on the floor. (he said it wasn't put on the bed because he was getting too much help from the kitties....which I can believe). We have a deal that whoever gets up last has to make the bed.

Anyway, I figured it was his way of saying it was time for a "Spring/Summer" quilt.

So my Kaleidoscope quilt is now on the bed and I need to see if I have any extra scraps to make a couple throw pillows.
In the mean time Bella seems to be enjoying the new quilt.
Simon had to join her, it is funny how they always sleep at the end of the bed even when we're not in it.
Last year I made quilted king size pillow shams in muslin - Quilted Pillow Shams
Nothing new to show, I'm still working with my batiks but it has been in little spurts this week.

Your quilt is amazing ! your kitties are adorable ; but I am allergic so I kinda get a furball feeling in my throat seeing them lying on the bed ! :(

I see I am not the only one that has helpers to make the bed, lumps and all.

The quilt looks so cheerful for the summer. The kitties sure enjoy it.

They are all so cute, but that third picture of Bella? OH So cute, I love when their little paws curl up. She looks like she is snuggling in...

beaquilter said...

that's a lovely quilt, did you use the GO! for that one? the blocks seem large and I have that DIE, just haven't made a kaleidoscope quilt with it yet..... Kitties sure love it....
You make me feel guilty, I never make our bed, let alone put a quilt on it, I really should be more on top of that, it always looks so nice :-)

Nanette Merrill said...

The bed is so inviting, how could the kitties not want to lounge there. They are like an accessory to the beautiful quilt. Almost like you planted them there.

I love this quilt! It is so bright and colorful. Your cats are beautiful! This is what my bed usually looks like with two kitties snuggling on it. Mine are about the same size as yours. Yours are so cute!

Ivory Spring said...

Thanks for stopping by to visit, Connie. I like the colors in your kaleidoscope quilt.

Lesley said...

That quilt is stunning and perfect for a summer time quilt! You must love walking into the room!

Jen said...

Hello Connie, Your quilt is so lovely.It just looks like summer. The quilting you do is beautiful on your quilts. Simon and Bella love it also. We have the same bed arrangement but mostly we make it together. It's quicker to get the job done.

Stephanie Davison said...

Love the bright, cheerful colors in this quilt!

Sarah said...

I've been behind on my blog reading but I just did a nice catch up on yours and I enjoyed seeing the bright summer quilt and the kitties snoozing at the bottom of the bed. Mine do the same - like they have assigned seats or something...

Silvia said...
