I have never seen a quilt like this. It is just too cute! Very funny! Did you design it or is there a pattern out there for it? I love it & you did a great job!

thanks!. the main quilt is 21x21. i could not find the right shoes either. i used felt and cut 4 shoe shapes and glued two together over each pipe cleaner foot.

To whomever said she wishes she could sew again .... Me too! I've been at it for months it seems! Started when I sold my longarm and purchased a new one which has not arrived yet. I decided to paint. What a mess. Then I decided to clean out. HUGE MESS! Qnow I've replaced some floor tiles, taken closet doors down and put up curtains...and it just seems to never end! Each day I think I'll finish tomorrow...but tomorrow never comes !!! I feel your pain!

Thanks for this response! I considered making my own shoes but hadn't figured out how. I may try it, using your idea!
