I'm Kentuckian, too. Your quilt is just beautiful and the colors are terrific. Congratulations on your first quilt and I hope you make many more. I have been quilting for about 40 yrs. and still love it. I learn something everyday. This board has been a wonderful resource and inspiration.
I especially love your cat. I had one that looked just like her. She became lost and we could never find her. Hope someone found her and wouldn't let her go.
