Pets on Quilts Show

Here is Alice, lounging on a quilt  I made from scraps I had in my stash.  She is NOT allowed to lounge on anything for customers!  This quilt is 45"x45".  I started with the middle piece.  I used the colors of the middle square to inspire the rest of it.  Here are the instructions .  Alice is about 4 years old.  I rescued her and her sister from our back alley when they were about 6 weeks old.  They were the only kittens that didn't run from me!

    Alice is such a lucky kitty, to be adopted by a quilter. Love the idea of pets on quilts! Off to find a picture to enter. Give your kitties a scratch behind the ears from me.

    Oh Cynthia, Alice is such a sweetie. She looks very much loved and happy on your beautiful quilt. I'm so happy that you rescued her and her sister. And thanks for the instructions for your cute quilt too.

    What a lovely kitty, lounging on that lovely quilt. My cats usually only want to lounge on quilts that are out of bounds.

    I love scrap quilts, so I think Alice's is beautiful. Does Alice know how pretty she is? How lucky for her and her sister to have found you.

    How wonderful that they were so brave. It's scary business being adopted, but it pays back better than any other investment.

    Alice is a beautiful cat! Your quilt is very pretty. What a great idea to use all your scraps. Isn't this what the original quilts were made of, back in pioneer days?

    I understand your reluctance to let Alice on quilts for your customers, but I bet she eyes them all longingly!!
