This is a picture of the fabric I used for the back. I kept the purple/blue theme going but in a more subdued manner.
I also made 2 pillow cases using cat themed fabric. My quilt guild raffles off baskets each year at the quilt show. I was asked to join the animal themed basket this year. I always have cat fabric in my stash. I made them both in a matter of hours. I think they would make nice gifts as well for birthdays or holidays. I used the "tube" method. It's fast and a bit of a surprise when you open up your rolled up fabrics. I even used French seams to finish it up. The tutorial I used can be found here.
So hot here! I'm staying indoors with the air conditioning pumping away. The heat's not supposed to break until the weekend. Hope I last that long! Stay cool out there!
Oh it looks great!!! I finished mine too...or I topped it...I need to make the back and quilt it:):) Looks great!!
