what a wonderful idea. The design and colors make it look so warm and homey - just like family.

Nice job and I bet they will all be hoping their name is picked. What a nice heirloom this will create!

I pieced this on my Singer 301A that I named for my grandmother. Thanks for looking.

You used beautiful materials and you are a very fast worker! Anyone who wins this will be lucky to have this quilt. I also name my sewing machines.

Love your quilt and your colors. It is definitely gender neutral. Beautiful job.

That's funny, I found that on ebay. I used it to weigh down the top so I could take a picture. I started collecting cat figurines after I adopted my two cats. The piece of furniture behind the quilt top is a display cabinet with lots of little trinkets and several cat pieces. I have to keep everything away from my two little monsters.
