Jazz Cats quilt
 

I just finished the top of a Jazz Cats quilt. The pattern can be found in The Cat's Meow, a book of many cat quilts by Janet Kime.

I am pleased with the way it turned out...which is nice, because it is for me. :)

My eyes didn't enjoy doing the black background, so this may be my one and only try at a black background. I just can't see well enough sewing black on black...

Thanks for looking. (The fabrics are brighter than they appear in the picture.)

You did a great job. Black is horrible to work with, in my opinion.

Enjoy your new cat quilt - great colors!
I agree about working with a lot of black.

Such a fun quilt! I really love the richness of a quilt with a black background. I hate to work with black (but have) especially in the evening when I am trying to hand stitch a black binding with black thread. I read where they said to have a white sheet over your work surface to help.... I tried it, but didn't find it significantly different.

oh how I love t. so great. very nice work.

That is sooooo stinkin' cute! Love it!

terrific finish

I love it. I have a cat loving SIL that would just love that quilt. Another one for my bucket list.

Very cute!

looks great! I love it... you inspired me. I ordered that book for myself. Can't wait to get it

Love the colors! I've never worked with a black background, and probably never will, my eyes would never forgive me.

Very nice! You are going to enjoy your kitties.

It turned out so cute. Thanks for taking us along on your journey while making it.

I like it a lot. The purple border looks great!

That is gorgeous. Looks perfect to me.

Thanks for the nice comments. :)

It's just lovely, you did a great job and it's looks really nice on the black background.

It's a great quilt!

Nicely done! Great colors, and the black background is super!

I don't have a cat but I love this quilt. BrendaK

It looks fantastic! I like the purple border too!

I like your kitty quilt. The black background makes it but I know what you mean about sewing on black. It is hard to see what you are doing.

What a happy quilt. I love it.

I've noticed black is hard to work with. My Mom used to tell me that and I thought she was being dramatic!!!

Your quilt is fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's no nice to see it completed. You should be very pleased with it - for your perseverance and for your final product. I do like the purple border a lot now. It really pulls the other purples out and unifies it. So glad you're keeping it.

You chose one of my favorite patterns. I made this quilt also and could not part with it. Good job!

I love it on the black background.

Love your quilt and how at random you intertwined the cat tails.

I made that a few years ago for my DGD but used a light background. I love yours but I don't like to work with black for 2 reasons. 1. Hurts my eyes 2. My cat is light colored and his fur would show up on it no matter how hard I tried to keep it clean! Lol

I love the way the cats pop on the black! I know what you mean about how hard it is to see when working with black, but I think the aggravation is worth it as shown by your project. Excellent job!

I see your avatar is this quilt pattern! :)

Love your quilt, so lovely and bright and the Black makes it pop.

Your're right about working with a black background. As a quilter, you just see a pattern and think, oh that looks great, then when you start working on it you realize...is it just me or is it hard to see where this black fabric matches up? At any rate, you quilt is super cute and perfect for cat lovers! Great job!

That is really nice.

is

I researched this pattern when I was deciding on a background color, and I found our posting about your quilt here on the QB. You made sure each cat had some pink, right? Your quilt is beautiful, and I came very close to doing a white background. But I bravely dove in. :) No regrets, but I wouldn't do it again.

Dina

That is lo great!

Great quilt! Tell Hot Rod hello for me--I'm surprised he isn't sitting on that one! :)

Congrats on being done! It looks fabulous! Enjoy snuggling under your pretty quilt!
