[ATTACH=CONFIG]318981[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]318982[/ATTACH]Quilt pattern is Stairway to Fortune but I named it "Catnap" because of the cat fabric and because his sweet kitty. I love surprises on the back of the quilt. It makes it reversible.

HA-ha-ha. Too funny ube quilting. Thanks everyone. I loved making this quilt. I didn't use the pattern, just saw a picture and winged it. I just HAD to have the sock monkey backing.

That is beautiful and I love the colors.

My FAVORITE color combination! This is wonderful. I love the pattern as well. I have to bookmark this one. How many different fabrics did you use? Looks like a wide variety.

Good job!

Leslie, I'm not sure how many fabrics. Probably around 30. I bought all fabrics on sale. I collected for about 4 months. If you go to the second photo and press command + it will make the image bigger and give you a better idea of the different fabrics. The black and white cat border is a 20" strip of wide backing. Got it for about $4. The other fabric I bought 1 1/2 yard of the red with white polkadots. The rest were all 1/4 yard, cut into 2 1/2" strips. I still have 2 1/2" x 6" strips left over but I'm sure I'll find a use for them eventually.

My youngest grandson, 2 1/2 would LOVE the back of the quilt. It's very pretty on the front. Wish I were at the beach!

burchquilts 03-11-2012 08:39 PM
Black & white & red all over! I love! And you didn't "monkey around" with the backing, did you? LOL! Super cute!

nunnyJo 03-12-2012 03:14 AM

Awesome quilt!!!

Aren't grandsons great. They love anything grandmas make. Your quilt is very well planned and completed! Don't despair, they still love what you make for them even as they become grownup. Sandy 64
