Cat Nap


I posted a picture of a paper pieced kitty last week. It's just a small wall hanging. It was something fun to work on in between holiday events. The kitty sits on a few quilts so this is the first quilt. I used the freezer paper paper piecing method so I have no paper to pull out. You just sew as close as possible next to the folded line between pieces. I love this method. It's accurate and less work than actual paper piecing.  The first quilt is a green flying geese quilt. The pattern is by MH Designs.


Next up, we have a pink quilt with 2 pieced blocks. I feel the quilts are getting wider as we work our way down the wall hanging. I think it gives a nice depth effect, 

The last quilt is made up of 3 stars. This quilt took the longest to make. It just had more sections to make and then sew together.


 I surrounded it by 2 inch strips from a pretty floral fabric. I have to make 2 eyes and a nose on the kitty. Then I have to quilt it and bind it. I think it's so cute. I plan on hanging it in my sewing room. I bought this pattern almost 20 years ago. I'm so glad I finally got to it! It measures about 9" X 10 3/4".
