Phoebe's Christmas QAYG Quilty and Another Kitty Christmas Quilty...

 Having a pils of scraps leftover for years from Christmas sewing, I decided to make cat quilts  - one for ours and one for Phoebe, my "grandkitty."  This actually used all my scraps! So glad!  The above picture is Phoebe on her new quilt. It is a strip QAYG, assembling backing and batting and then sewing strips cross the top, then bind - very fast way to make smaller items and looks quite good! :)  Below is a picture of it before gifting.  For the QAYG I used a fat quarter as the backing and that made the trimming extra easy! Size was same when done as a fat quarter.

The one I made our kitties is not as pretty! But it used quite a few scraps! It is larger than Phoebe's quilt by several inches each way.  It was nice that I used all the rest of the Snoopy fabric for binding!! On the one for our cats I used several strip scraps to bind.

Seattle 2024 Quilts for Grands...

Finished, sent received and LOVED!!! I used some fat quarters and some fabric cut to fat quarters by me. Seattle fabric was not generally available around here of course, so I grazed the interwebs. ETSY had a nice little shop on Whidbey Island called Undercoverquilts, and that shop had this lovely Seattle print! I wanted that theme for these two quilts, as my grands grew up in that area. Also I needed a masculine sort of quilt - no florals for the guys!  

 

Primary colors set this off I think, and the binding is from eQuilter, and is called Splatter 108 inch backing.  

Those primaries really made a good binding for the Seattle Quilt! I used my Elna 720 for the sewing and quilting, and Warm and Natural and Hobbs batting - 100% cotton of course. The backing is flannel in blue shaded prints. All in all it took me quite awhile to get these made. Designed by me. :)
