- - Come Take A Look At "Smoky in the Garden" (https://www.quiltingboard.com/pictures-f5/come-take-look-%22smoky-garden%22-t120379.html)

I got this idea for my cat with some tulips when I saw some brick fabric in my stash. It hit me like a lightning bolt. I pictured it with yellow and pink tulips. Unfortunately when I ironed down the first yellow flower, I could see the bricks right through it. I checked out other yellows that I have. Same problem. My sister gave me some yellow. Still no go. I had to re-think it and decided on blue. I got some wonderful batik squares from Cat Ballou for Christmas and picked two of them. They are absolutely stunning. I am so happy.

The entire piece is 24 ½ x 34 inches.

Good job. I really like the blue.

So cute. I like the blue, but could see it with yellow, as well. Next time try two layers of yellow.

Adoreable! The blue is perfect with little Smokey!
