Travelling to new places, expand our palette in life.  We try new foods, discover so many places, nature adding to the bounty of what we discover along the way.

These fabrics from Makover,  was bought on holiday a few years back at Quilttalk.

 

The cats and all the bright colours, not to mentioned the expressions on their faces, just beg to go home with us.  The quilting was inspired by the way cats like to play with a ball of wool, unravelling as they go along, playing with it.

This fabric was used as a sashing,  the orange background of the same print was used around the little cat blocks, which was used around the center panel of the quilt.  Panels can be used in quilts, the notion that it is a waste of time is no longer true.  Women work and sometimes they want to make a gift, the time they have is limited.  Due to this, panels can help them create a gift, which is still just special.  It is in the spirit with which a gift is given, that counts. 

The finished quilt, it is still a labor of love,  as it is quilted just like a traditional quilt!
