Copy cat, Copy cat


My first blog post.

My mom and I were at the MCC quilt auction. I was announcing the quilts and bidding on the one below on the right.  I kept being out-bid by someone in the rafters.  When I checked out who it was, I saw my mom, grrrr! She has a lot more money than I do so I knew I was doomed. She out-bid me on the quilt, but I decided to re-create it. It turned out to be a lot cheaper this way.




Mine is on the right, hers is on the left.  I finished the top, and just need to have it quilted.
I had a lot of fun making it. It is a nine patch alternating with a hour glass 3 inch blocks. The border is hand appliqued.

I asked some of my quilting friends if they wanted to do a joint project for the MCC auction and they wanted to do this one, great! (Sarcasm)    So I got the fabric and passed it out to everyone. They all made some of the 9 patches and hourglass squares, this time the squares were 6 inch . My awesome friends Vicki and Deborah and I put together the borders.

This is one of the 2 we put together.  This one has the lighter fabrics.  The other one is almost done.



Done!!
Here is the quilt with the brighter blocks.



Now they will go off to be quilted.

    1. Everything makes sense at 11 o'clock at night. I think I blog something then it doesn't show up. Very confusing. Spelling has never been a strength of mine.
