Fun For Friday - Fall Quilt Festival - 2013

It's that time of year again for Amy's blogger quilt festival!

This year I'm sharing the quilt I made to commemorate Hurricane Sandy exactly 1 year ago today.

"Frankenstorm" 

Quilt Stats:
Doll & Mini Cateory
Size 21" x 21"
Storm at Seat pattern - Paper Pieced
Machine Quilted

 I quilted it in a spiral pattern, like the hurricane winds.

The backing is a batik and a vintage piece of Peanuts fabric.

You can see how small it is next to the rotary cutter.

You can use this link to the Doll & Mini Quilts cateogry.  There are also quick links to all the other categories.

Happy Halloween and enjoy the rest of the quilts in the festival.   Thanks Amy!

Happy Quilts and Happy Weekend

Fun For Friday - FRANKENSTORM!! and a Feline Rebellion

Happy Friday!
I just finished my Sandy commemorative quilt; Frankenstorm.

I quilted it with a spiral - what else?

It was fun to pick these tiny fussy cuts.  They are 3/4"

The backing has a FQ of this Peanuts "Great Pumpkin" print that I have had for years and years.  I have no idea where I picked it up.

I wish I knew why Linus is having a converstion with himself in the upper left hand corner.  Seems like a weird misprint, very funny.

 

Here is a photo to show scale.  It is 21" x 21".

 

On a recent trip to NYC I picked up this fun christmassy fabric from City Quilter.

I made up some quick Kleenex covers with it.

My coco seems to get all the face time here, but we also live with two sweet cats; Starbuck and Luna.  They delivered a harsh reprimand about never being mentioned, so here is their moment.

 

A quilt I made in 2005 for my daughter.

Starbuck seems appeased.

Have a Wonderful weekend!
