After we lost our cat at 17 years, a friend in Australia sent me a redwork block. I started this quilt and put it aside in 2005. I finally got it out and finished it.
the funny thing is, i now have three cats!! count the cats in the redwork block!

corner "cat" and qlted circles in blk inner border

What a beautiful quilt, and I love the way it's displayed.

How sweet! We had Loki too! He was a Jack/Shitz mix, & so precious. A dog, of course, but love the name. Did you know what name means? My DH picked it out, it's for the Norse God of Mischief, & the name sure fit! We lost him, due to health issues, quite unexpectedly last May, while on vacation, & on the way to CA from here. He was just six & a half, so it was quite a shock. Like you, we now have 3, dogs, that is. Already had an old beagle, & when we got home DH founds us two new pups online to adopt. Good luck with all your cats you have now, our new pups are doing great, & they all 3 have their own quilts too, lol...

Doesn't it feel good to finish an old project? You did an awesome job!! Kinda of makes you wonder why it took you so long :roll:

My son named Loki for me. fitting name. he was sweet though. not a lap cat until he got older.
i kept putting things aside that were for us, to do things for others. That's what quilters do, isn't it? I'm trying hard now to finish all the quilt tops i have and use mostly fabrics i have on hand.
