Once upon a blog post, I may have mentioned that I acquired some cat fabric. 48 yards in fact. Well, that was split with a friend, leaving me with 24 yards. (You can see in the un-cropped picture, that it is still very much a winter wonderland here.)
This post here talks about my insanity in November when I started making these blocks. I knew I wouldn't get to them with the Holidays coming up, so I put them in a box to be dealt with later.
Fortunately our guild is doing this UFO challenge and since I did start this last year, I put it on the list.
I finished the top in early February. It sat basted for a couple of weeks, but now its done. I did diagonal lines all across the quilt. The back is a batik that I also got when I acquired the cat fabric. Those circles don't lie completely flat, even when greatly ironed, but for a backing, its not bad. I even seamed it well enough, that I think the seam is invisible.
Stats:
Finished Size: 53" x 74"
Warm N Natural Batting
Fabrics: A huge variety of cats from whoknowswhere and everywhere.
Baking: Batik
Quilting: Diagonal Cross Hatching with black Aurifil in top and bottom.
A couple of full-on shots. Both ended up blurry, though. I guess my daughter and I move too much.
And its mine! Mr. Riley says its rather bright to look at, and E doesn't love it (like I thought she might) so it is my very own couch/chair snuggling quilt.
