Liberty Coins Cat Quilt Block Pattern

It's finally here.  The twelfth and final installment in the Basket Cat quilt block series - Liberty Coins Cat.  

The Liberty Coins Cat Quilt Block is a foundation piecing pattern.  Such a cute little kitty, peeking over the basket edge.  You could customize the cat by using the fabrics of your choice for the fur and eyes.  Sew a few to match your own furry family members!  

I chose to make my Liberty Coins Cat a bit of a rebel.  I added a little kitty "mohawk" on top of his head.  It was fun to quilt all those little spikes.

Here's the quilt I made, featuring all twelve of the Basket Cat patterns.  These patterns are fun to collect, and a steal at only $3.00 each.  You could sew pillows, a table runner, a small wall hanging, or a full size quilt.  My family uses this quilt to cuddle on the couch by the fire in the evenings.  I made it wider than it is long, so we could have more "snuggle room".  See all of the Basket Cat patterns in my shop, at this link:  Quilt Block Patterns.  Mix, match, and make something adorable!

Until next time...please visit the Curlicue Creations Shop...and have a super day!

Playing with Scraps

My boys are so creative.  In this photo, Levi has covered Trent with a huge gob of quilting scraps.  They both look happy.

In this photo they have collaborated to cover William the cat with fabric scraps.

Sometimes I think William is the most patient cat in the universe.

Star Block of the Month Border One

Sorry I've been so slow getting my top together.  I just finished sewing border one onto my quilt.  I used the same medium brown fabric as I did for the sashing.  The second border will be a striped border using all of the fabrics from the blocks.  Border three will be a thick dark brown.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Curlicue Creations Star BOM.  The patterns for all of the blocks can still be found by clicking on the Star Block of the Monh Tutorial tab at the top of the page.  If you sew a block, or a quilt from one or more of these blocks, please send me a photo!  I would love to do a quilt parade here on the blog featuring all the quilts in the future.

Until next time...please visit the Curlicue Creations Shop...and have a super day!

Kitty Warmer

William likes The Warm Company batting as much as I do.  He's making good use of the leftovers from my last quilt.
