Monday Morning Star Count - House Quilt Finish
Today is a national holiday in Japan - Sports Day. It is observed on the second Monday in October (a Happy Monday Holiday). The day commemorates the start of the 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics, and exists to promote sports and an active lifestyle.
Now - the House Quilt finish! This is the quilt front, with the top row of hexagons folded over to the back to keep it on the laundry pole. It looks a lot like the bottom row. The quilt is mostly machine pieced and hand quilted.The hexagons are stitched on by hand.
The backing is made of six cat fabrics pieced together.
Here are some close ups of the backing fabric. I do love cats!
The corner blocks are some simple embroidered houses with a little quilting around the houses.
I like it.

Hi Pamela: Congratulations on the finish, the backing with cats is a hoot.

I love the quilt top - the colours, the houses and the borders you have chosen! Congratulations on a great finish!
I LOVE it!
You have got a nice balance of darker and lighter pieces. It's a busy quilt, but with harmony. Then there are all the interesting prints on the back to explore.
Congratulations on finishing. Enjoy using the quilt.
It's glorious - what a great finish!
