Yes the Cats Own This Quilt


Yes, the cats own this quilt. They claimed it long before it found its place on our bed. After making quilts and quilted items for others, I finally made a quilt for us. It is so large for a queen sized bed that we actually fold down one of the ends. Don't ask why, for I have no better explanation than I miscalculated somewhere along the way. I quilted it on my machine, using the 'quilt as you go' method I learned from Lois Smith's book on Machine Quilting. The photo in which you see the guts of the quilt shows a step in this process. I displayed the (long) quilt in the Friendship Star Quilt Guild's show last year. Since then it has been a blanket for us and a favored place for the cats.
