Happy Cats
40 x 60
Ready for giving or gifting!
This is one of several tops I made last year when I had an attack of cat scrap fever. Most cat scraps were used up; however, I still have lots of cat themed fabrics. This one consists of 10 inch Happy Blocks - 6.5 inch centers and 2.5 inch sides. The sides are cut from scrap chunks or yardage. And now you know how I accumulate a lot of 2.5 inch scraps -- I've made lots of Happy Blocks over the years.
This one was quilted with spirals on my DSM.
The backing is flannel with some happy cats. I've had this on hand since the grandkids were younger. I don't normally wash fabrics before I use them; however, I do wash flannels since they seem to shrink a lot more than other fabrics. I prefer to sew bindings down by hand but sew it down by machine now on most donation quilts.

ReplyDeleteA very happy quilt with an equally happy backing :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy quilting spirals too!
Great finish!
Another cute quilt! I counted 40 quilts SO FAR this year! I know that you donate a lot of them but I'm wondering where or how you store all the rest.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Great flannel backing. I'm sure it's very soft and cuddly :)
ReplyDeleteLooks perrrfect! I am currently cutting pieces to make a Marvel Comic Happy Block quilt for my great grandson. I'm really liking this process so far.
