Thread: Pics of My Finished Quilt and Thanks for All the Help

Thanks so much for the compliments – on the quilt AND the cat!

I can’t take credit for the color combo though since I used fabrics from a single collection, except for the backing. The fabric was from the “By the Sea” collection from Marcus Fabrics. Helen Weinman is the designer. She has a shop on Cape Cod so we had a nice day visiting the Cape and shopping.

Regarding the pattern: no, I didn’t have a pattern. I searched for ages for a pattern that would let me use the fussy cut motifs and saw lots of ideas. I ended up making this in EQ6. I have the details in an Excel file. If you'd like it, PM me with an email address.

Thanks again!

I have enjoyed making this - it's for my husband's elderly aunt and cousin. The label includes my DH's name since he helped every step of the way except for the sewing.

As for the last picture: As I went to return the quilt to its protective bag to keep cat hair off of it, I said to DH, "I hope there's not a cat in the bag!" Oh well...

Great job!!

Beautiful work. Is kitty claiming the sack?

Well I absolutely love this quilt. It touches my heart. I have nothing to go with blue and yellow in my house, but lets see I have a front porch, a side porch, and a glassed in room.........I think I know where I could put it. Lots of laughs. I love the line of fabric by Marcus brothers. Thanks for sharing.

Oh isn't that LOVELY.

Such a beautiful quilt! Love the fabric! Great job!
