Obviously, your Aunts love kitties! Your Polyanna cat is really cute too!
Oh, and your 319 looks like it is in pristine shape! I love my 319w in treadle. I use that machine almost every day!

Nancy,
My wife and I met on the job some 30 odd years go. Worked together there as a team off and on too. I believe the backing is flannel. We got a big roll of the stuff at Hancock Fabrics when they went out of business here.
All my life both my aunts have had cats, seems like a family trait. So to make a happy quilt I picked that genre. My wife has been collecting cat prints for years, so we took some and made the squares. I really don't think we scratched the surface of what she has stashed.
The 319 is very much pristine. It came to us with all the needle plates, a couple feet, the owners manual, motor manual, and the case is in excellent condition as well. All we've done is buy some bobbins and needles, do a bit of cleaning and oiling and use it.
Elaine will not let me put it in a treadle.
Joe
