Ann K, your kitty looks like my Reggie. Except he does not get to go out.

I had all this fleece because originally the plan was to use the fleece for backing on 5 quilts. Just as I had all the fabrics, patterns in mind, etc. I was given the blessing of caring for 3 grandchildren for the school year while Dad was in Afghanistan. So no sewing for a year. By that time the children had grown, favorite colors changed, etc. So that 5 kids are all getting big bed quilts and I used the fleece as blankets.

Lots of times I use fleece for the applique ... but this time I used scraps of cotton fabrics instead.

Summer, my cat, is technically a house kitty. She only goes out on the patio with supervision.

Ooh! Lovely blankets and quilt. I especially noticed the fleece blanket which appears bound. I will have to try that. I have to date just turned a narrow hem on my fleece blankets. Love the look of the binding. Did you bias cut it? Penny

Yes, it was bias cut and left over from another quilt I made a few years ago. If the blanket was square, it would not have needed to have bias cut binding ... but because I curved the corners a bias cut binding worked better.

I just sewed it on, folded over and stitched with a feather stitch to catch all the edges and hide the seam. I have coordinating scraps of Winnie the Pooh fabric to make appliques if I wanted. Still thinking about that.

Wow! Don't you wish we all had more snow days?
