Thanks to everyone for the compliments on the "partially finished" quilt. I knew you guys would like it since it's cats!![]()
Christa my grandma taught me how to piece quilts when I was really young. I love piecing them but have never quilted before. She and both hated the quilting part!She always sent hers out to be machine quilted. I am machine quilting this one myself. I'm doing it in sections so I can handle the bulk. So far, so good!! Even I can't believe how well the quilting is turning out. I have a long way to go yet but I'm pleased with the beginning.
For anyone who likes to piece quilts there is a wonderful web site with tons of free quilt patterns. A lot of them are paper pieced and some are way to involved for me but there is a lot to choose from. In the drop down box choose patterns galore.

Make sure you go to the last page of the instructions on any that you like and she will show you how it looks when finished. Most of them have links to actual quilts that someone has made from the pattern. It is a wonderful site! This pattern is called "Wild cat"
