Well, I secretly set out to make a pair, one for them and one for us. But it was quite a sprint to get just theirs finished by Christmas time and 94 is a lot of cats, David. (Don't make me explain that joke again.) Eventually our quilt got put away after the holidays and other quilt projects just kept cutting in front of it in the queue. By the time I finally got back to working on our black cat quilt I had a new idea.
My new plan involved cats and rabbits! Ring a bell?
It's one of my favorite songs from the Disney Alice in Wonderland.
As if there weren't enough cats in this quilt...
I also wanted to give a little nod to the Queen of Hearts.
Finally I got everything together and started quilting.
You know, the hallmark of a good quilting buddy is that she doesn't care when the quilt spills off of the quilting table and onto her face.
I quilted in two colors for this project.
Here's what the cats and rabbits look like all finished up (after only 2.5 years!)
I'm actually really happy to have finished this quilt so I can stop singing that damned song every time I work on it!
