Quilter's Show & Tell - Quilts with Pets

This is turning out to be the week of the cat.
 
For all those Cat lovers out there...my entry for this week's theme 'Quilts wit Pets' is this little wall hanging that I made out of a Panel that my daughter urged me to buy some time ago. I finally cut it up last year and used it as a FMQ practice piece to produce this little wall hanging:
 
 
 
The quilt measures 18in x 22 1/2in and now adorns my sewing room. For more detail on the FMQ you can find some close ups HERE
 
Head over to the Quilting Gallery for this week's entries. Voting will be open from Friday to Monday morning.

    I like that panel and all the great colours. Wallhangings are a great project for practicing that FMQ. Good luck, Karin!

    Adorable! That is a great idea to use panels to practice free motion quilting. Good luck!
