Rainbow Cats For Blogger’s Quilt Festival.
Posted on | September 19, 2017 | 28 Comments
This is my second entry in the Blogger’s Quilt festival for Fall 2017.
This wonderful sharing of quilts is organised by Amy Ellis of Amy’s Creative Side.
This quilt is another one from earlier in the year and has been on my blog before.
There are a lot of lovely pieced animal blocks around and Elizabeth Hartman has a great collection of them. I have adapted her cat mini quilt to make a full sized bed quilt.
Every cat block is a different colour. The colour changes follow a path from the top left block and travel in a zig zag pattern to the bottom corner.
I was able to find enough fabrics in my stash to make sure there were no double ups and to be able to meet the requirements for gradual colour changes.
I had this one quilted by my favourite LAQ. Love the swirls. They remind me of cat tails.
The backing is a great fabric from Ella Blue basics and is covered with Australian place names.
Here are some of the towns listed.
I had two blocks left over so I turned them into cushion covers.
I hope you have time to enjoy all the quilts in the festival.
Congratulations to Amy for the festival and thank you the sponsors for supporting her.
Cheers, Karen
