First off Kristakz, I think your cat quilts look amazing with your own fabrics!! Thanks so much for sharing them, as I haven't seen but one or two that were made without using MR fabrics...I must confess, I still have not even made one of hers...and I have the entire set of one of hers and several of her others...I need to just "buckle down" and get after it...lol...Please, if there are any others out there who have made any MR quilts, please post pics...whether it is using MR fabrics, or your own....I need inspiration!!!

I'm just finishing 'Reaching Out'. Loved every minute of it! Mine is a lot brighter - not so 'antique-y' compared with the picture. I couldn't thread a sewing machine just over two years ago and it's my second appliqué project - first is my avatar.
It's night here now, so I'll post a pic tomorrow when I get daylight to photograph it.

This is the first I've heard about Kai scissors. I found some curved ones on Amazon for $14.99. I have very good curved scissors and don't know if Kai would be any better. They are Japanese scissors, not American made, which would be nicer. But I still would like to know what makes them so nice. Why haven't I ever heard about them before. I do a lot of applique with my scissors and have no problems at all. But if these Kai are superior, I would buy them in an instant. Any advice?

Sorry the picture took so long - it was raining yesterday! I've still to add an inner border (pink) and I'm going to use the same lemon for the outer border. I also changed the setting of the nine-patch (they were the
worst!) to the background fabric.

My quilt is by Edyta Sitar, NOT McKenna Ryan. I have got a couple of her patterns, but haven't started them yet. Oops - sorry

I don't do photos so hope this works, I used all my own fabrics and started with just one block of Mckennas down
on the farm quilt, the swing on the tree. Then I bought one more block of a pine tree and some deer and voila, a little imagination and photos and I had a quilt!
