I'm quilting again

15 years ago

After a summer of fighting weeds and other things that get in the way of fun stuff I'm now back to quilting. One of my goals last year was to finish some UFO. Here is one former UFO.

Sorry for using links. I can't see pictures posted in threads on this site so I can't tell if mine are showing up when I post them.

That's very pretty. I love the colors. It also looks difficult--all those points.

That's beautiful! It took me a minute to realize that they were kitties. How clever!

I've gotten hooked on paper piecing lately--it's really addictive.

What is the name of the block please? My DD's boss's wife would give her eye teeth for that one.

Thanks ladies!

The pattern is called "Sawtooth Cats", designed by Janet Miller and put out by The City Stitcher. It is one of those patterns that comes in a zip lock baggie.

As far as I can tell the body of the cats are like the New York Beauty pattern, but I have never made a NY Beauty so I'm not totaly sure.

The points weren't too bad since it was paper pieced. I'm one of those lucky people who strated sewing curved pieces before some one told me they were supposed to be difficult so that part wasn't tough. I must say the borders were enough to drive me crazy after a while. The cat faces were supposed to be stitched on, but I cheated and used pigma pens. They show up well in person, but not so much in the picture.

This is the first quilt that I went totaly wild with the quilting. Normally I'm pretty blah with the quilting part. I tend to stitch in the ditch way too much.lol This time I did chains of hearts on the sashing, diamonds on the cat backgrounds, outlined the stripes on the cats and put one heart on each cat body.

Yep, this one is for me:) The quilt I'm working on now is for a baby shower gift. It's the Yellow Brick Road pattern that took a small detour.lol All I can say is if you are doing that pattern follow the directions to the letter. If you don't I have tips for saving the quilt!

Thanks for the welcome back too!

Foxy.
