Thank you. It is a small queen size. The length is regular queen but across is a little narrow, the picture is on a queen bed. The actual stitch time is quick, it is the alignment in the hoop that takes the most time with each block a separate hooping. The two borders (the paisley and the multi color borders) are combined in a hoop. I did quilt around each of the cats but did not use free motion.

I start out basting each section, then stitch in the ditch before going in the hoop. This is only the second quilt I have made this way. It takes a while but it is worth it.

Next quilt I will try Quilters Select Free Fuse. It is a powder that is sprinkled between the quilt layers then ironed to fuse together. If you are interested, I can send the link where it was purchased.

Thank you. The colors were chosen for the bedroom knowing the comforter and pillow shams are dark, thought the brights would be good.

Thank you. Making a quilt as you go makes it possible to quilt it in the hoop.

52676The only time cats should be allowed on the bed. LOL. It turned out beautifully, sis.

Thank you. I agree with you. No animal should be allowed on the bed. Go visit #1 sis to see it up close. Don't look too close to see all the mistakes.

I found the fabric two years before the quilt was started. I knew immediately it was to be used for a quilt for my sister.
