Birthday Stars

I saw this quilt being made on Fons and Porter and I just couldn't wait for my magazine to arrive to make it!! It is a paper pieced quilt and is a bit time consuming, but what fun! You cut 2 blocks at the same time and is rotary cutting. You do have to concentrate to keep everything in order. But I loved making this quilt.

This quilt went to my oldest grandson, Christopher. The fabrics I chose are definately bright! The quilt is machine quilted with stars.

I just had to show you the corner block. It doesn't show well in the photo of the whole quilt and I think it's so cute!

9 Lives of the Whyte Kat

A Fons and Porter pattern called "Feline Frenzy". I named my version "9 Lives of the Whyte Kat" since the quilt was given to a friend who has a white cat. She is always telling of his adventures and I think he's used up his 9 lives! This is a paper pieced pattern, but goes quickly. I machine stitched the whiskers and machine appliqued the nose, eyes, and words. Actually the words were not part of the pattern. The quilt is machine quilted. It is also made completely from scraps except for the backing.
