I am amazed at how quickly I finished this quilt. The back went together fast:
The back is fabulous fabric designed by Julie Paschkis called Catkin. I fell in love with this fabric the first time I saw it and searched around until I found quantities I could purchase.
I've got about a yard of this fabric left over and I may have to look for more. Gorgeous!
The quilting was easy, simple and fast. I had the entire thing stitched in one day. The binding took two nights, mostly because I was playing Words with Friends with a friend of mine. WwF is a huge time suck. Tonight I ironed the binding and then stitched it down. Now all it needs is a bath.
And now I'm between projects. I much prefer being in the middle of a project. I've been thinking of making a couple market/tote bags. This is the pattern I've been looking at. I've found myself in need of some tote bags lately and making my own seems like a good way to acquire them. Besides, I need another project.
Love your quilt! Cats and hearts - it just doesn't get any better than that!
That's a great bag pattern, too. You can keep it simple as written, or use it for a jumping-off point for bells and whistles like embellishments and pockets.
