My little cat quilt is coming right along! This is a quilt that a client asked me to
make, based on the colors of her front room.
I had a lot of fun choosing fabrics with her, and imagining
what the cats would look like. We both
loved the way the Batik fabrics made such a difference in each cat.
As a matter of fact, some of the colors in the batiks
changed so much in just one piece of fabric, that I could get 2 different cats
out of it, and you couldn’t tell it was the same piece!
AS I made them, they were fun to start placing on the wall - and envision where I was going with it!
And all of my "Cats" up on the wall. They place together pretty nicely. My cats in real life, try to trip me on a regular basis - they make me look clumsy!
I had some Batik Strips left over,
and so.... what any good quilter does... ( Okay you can laugh now, I am not always this disciplined) I made them into a border!!
And now.... I will quilt it!!
So you will see it one more time before it goes to its own home!!

Pretty kitties!!! (Because it's a known fact that EVERYTHING is better in batik!)
ReplyDeleteI have never thought of doing a border where the colored fabric is only in two corners. I really like that effect!
ReplyDeleteYou aren't disciplined??? 😉
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful Alycia! I'm a cat lover too!
ReplyDeleteThat is real purrrrty! (Lol). Yes, everything is purity in batiks! Nice job Alycia.
