Earlier this year, Crazy Cats Checkerboard done for charity. Fun combination of fabrics and colors, turquoise used with red, there's a design challenge for me. Charity cats ch... Some recent charity work: this top was donated, in several sections; a quilting colleague (Sara N.) assembled the top from 2 or 3 sections and chose the backing fabric.

To me, that final detail is a particularly masterful touch. Photobucket
