My avatar is made out of calico scraps that I had saved from the early 70's. I still have some left waiting for another project. This is a quilt that I made for a friend who loves cats. It was a free download of a wall hanging and I just made it with more squares to make it quilt size and changed the direction of some of the cats. It is all little pieces and not paper pieced but not that difficult to construct. The name of the wall hanging was Cat in the Attic but I'm not sure it's available anymore. In any event, mine is Calico Cat in the Attic. I love calico and also have a collection of reproduction 1930's prints that I'm going to use on an upcoming project. I've been collecting them for several years so have quite a selection. When I find a quilt shop that has them I go on point!
