Small things amuse small minds !
I don't know whether that is an actual saying or not. I'm sure I heard it somewhere - lol !! Anyway I have had so much fun ( and made so much mess ) making this mini quilt. I have had this pattern for ages and thought it was so sweet. I have decided that I love doing mini quilts ! So quick, use little fabric and best of all - the basting takes about one and a half minutes - lol !!
The whole quilt measures about 10 inches by twelve so some of the pieces were really little. I am going to put it on my wall alongside the log cabin houses quilt I showed a while ago.
The cat is actually brown and not as dark as the picture shows. I deliberately used a colour different to any of my cats because then I would have had to make 3 - one of each colour. Just in case any of them got jealous you know - lol !!!
The fabric I used for the border is one I bought a couple of weeks ago. I plan to use it for setting squares for an on-point 9-patch. But I couldn't resist using a bit in this as I love it so much.
Talking of fabric I topped up my stash a little last night at my quilting group. Our lovely fabric lady turned up and I bought these
and this very cool stuff.
which was- just as I thought it would be- a big hit with Patrick. He has asked me to make him a quillow for quite a while now so just maybe . . .

Love the little wall hanging, where did you get the pattern it is so cute. (Not that I like cats or anything, lol)
The fabrics are lovely; I also like the black and white one, such a fun one.
too adorable!! It's a wonderful little wall hanging!
Cute Kitty. :-)
Nice stash too.
love this kitty quilt. I have seen that pattern - I won't be tackling it!
What an adorable quilt. I really like the black/white fabric. Your son has very good taste in fabric. I am busy making a bag, one of your tutorial totes. I will post in the next few days.
I just love this little kitty! She totally got my juices flowing tonight - photos soon! Just need to decide on a border combo. Thanks!
Good to see you paper-piecing! It's that tiger next LOL
Loooove the b&w fabric!
Oh so cute! I was wondering what those little paper pieced blocks were being made for!
Your fabrics are wonderful. You really are a fast sewer, there is always one finished quilt when I visit.
Oh how cute is that?! Great job.
I Love the black jungle animal fabric! Where can I get some? It would make a nice skirt! Your kitty quilt is wonderful and yes, those pieces had to be very tiny! I am in awe!
That's a very cute wallhanging! I'm glad you are having fun sewing and buying fabric. The black fabric is very nice. I see why Patrick likes it.
ooh -- I have that kitty pattern! I've pulled it out of the stack a couple of times thinking I'll work on it, but it always gets buried again... thanks for the inspiration!
Love your little cat! I love minis too, and MH designs is a great company for paper pieced patterns. Another one is a canadian company called Meadow Lily Bridge http://www.meadowlilybridge.com/
We are having Denise come to our guild in December and teach a class for us!
Oh so cool! I love it! I have a pattern for one of those with the quilts drying on the clothesline but I'm too chicken to do it!
The cat on the quilt pile is such fun and I love your black and white African animal fabric
The cat hanging is cute. I like making the little quilts too. The finishes just come faster that way!
Lovely kitty wall hanging!
Love all those fabrics too, they are yum!
It is a saying, and it is a really great little pattern, I love the 3 quilts, never seen that done like that before, a great lot of fun by the look of it! Tracey
