I'm not a cat person, but after being commissioned to make a kitty quilt (paid for in kisses by my grand daughter :) and finding this darling pattern, I was good.
These mini design boards came in very handy with all those pieces. Lori Holt has a great tutorial on youtube if you want to make yourself some. They are very helpful when it comes to moving pieces around especially when you're limited in space.
whiskers are paper pieced...
At the last minute, I decided that I didn't like the dark kitty on the bottom, so I switched him out.
favorite kitty ...
Search #kittenaroundquilt on IG to see others making this quilt.
Who can resist the waste created from making flying geese? Not me!! I put them all on the back.
Do you see the cross-weave pattern created? (try squinting)
I got the idea here from Carrie Nelson's blog, aka "Miss Rosie Quilts" (been waiting for years to shamlessly copy Carrie's pillow!!)
My new "go to" fast quilting design??? modern loops. Easy Peasy and FAST!!! All you have to do is mark a line across your quilt every 6 inches or so .

I’m a cat person and I love the quilt! Such a sweet pattern! I love that your kitties are all on their feet and nor turned around!
ReplyDeleteHow very sweet! Thanks for the visit. I cannot reply to you, you show up as a no reply blogger. :(
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling piece! The new, replacement kitten does work much better. Sometimes we just can't tell what will work until it's all sewn together :)
