FINISHED!!

My cat quilt for the Riley Blake Challenge with the Modern Quilt Guild is finished!  For whatever reason, when I saw these fabrics, I totally thought "cats", especially the orange swirly one -- looked and acted exactly like my Gracie:  lots of energy and orange-on-white!  I've titled it "Cats I Have Known", and the names of all the cats in my life are included in the quilting.  I love how it came out, and I can't wait to enter it...give me a couple minutes to figure out the unclear entry area...

Gracie approved!

The WHOLE quilt!

Up close...

Up close...

Each cat has a name of a cat I've known quilted on it...

Each cat block is quilted differently,
cuz, you know, all cats have different personalities...

Jane is WELL!!

Look Look!  My Jane is back!  

(That is my sewing machine's name.  She was like a Cabbage Patch Kid, and came with a name -- Jane Babylock.)  She is home and working  -- no parts flying off so far.  She is keeping my other machine (who did not come with a name, but I refer to as Trusty) company.  To be honest, I'm afraid to quilt with Jane quite yet, so I'm simply piecing...But it's so nice to have her home!!
