Crazy Cats on Cavalcade

This was a small quilt I made from scraps, mostly cat themed. Several fun novelty fabrics which I put together with scraps from other projects.  



It came out pretty fun; I sent it out to a call for charity quilts for kids in Toledo after some tornados. 


I smiled at these fabrics while working on it, hopefully it's made some little kid smile a bit too.

for Irina - Pastel Baby Quilt


I recently made this from some fabrics I've collected & some other bits & pieces that have come my way.  Was obsessing over this pattern called Disappearing 9 Patch.







It's in the geometry & in the particular placement of the colors & patterns, cutting & then rearranging them further.




A simple layout resulting in a more complex looking pattern. 



Outdoors, in natural light.




More detail, caught by the breeze ...  Outdoor light after a snowstorm. 



a peek at the back.





Am so pleased with the results.  Will be giving to a neighbor who has been helpful & kind to me, for his new baby girl.  Thanks Max!
