Sweet Grace by Jan Patek, Top Finished

 I finished stitching the blocks today and added the red print borders.  Love that dark red.  I can't take credit for the fabric choices.  The fabrics came with the BOM kit and out of the left over fabrics, I chose the red for the borders.

The triangles inside the pineapple were suppose to be stitched, but not liking to stitch triangles, I appliqued them to the background.  Now that I see the quilt, wow, it's bigger than a lap quilt, unless I have a big lap.

The cats have their noses pressed to the screen in the one open window that I leave open for air, must be a bear or a maybe a mountain lion, but then being cats, it could be a moth.  I can remember one time when Jim and I had a bear come to each window, late at night.  The bear was looking in each window, I finally opened a window and slapped the bear on his nose, didn't want him tearing the screen.  It startled the bear and I yelled to Jim,  "I touched his nose."  "You did what?"  "I touched his nose, felt just like a dog's"  "Oh for goodness sakes."
