QOQ ATLM, Again

I hadn’t exactly forgotten about Quilt of the Quarter (QOQ) but my brain had decided the second quarter ended around… September. 🙄 Fortunately, my QOQ pal said, ‘so …. are we still doing this?’ 

 Pretty sparkly metallic cats

Why yes, yes we are. I knew the fabric I wanted to use - this Cat-I-Tude2 yardage and fat quarters has been in a bag, set aside for ‘special’, for years. 

 Friendship Star is a no-go. 

Thought I knew which design… but a test block (with ugly fabric) was a big, fat NO. Plan B, after an evening on Pinterest, looks more promising. 

 Inspiration 

Wednesday was the wake-up call; 

Thursday was for fussy-cutting fancy cats and starching/ironing fabric; 

Friday saw most of the fabric cut and cat frames sewn. 

Saturday we sewed… and Sunday it’s finished!

This QOQ was ATLM (at the last minute) - again - but I’m pleased: A) the fabric is out of my stash; B) the quilt looks good; and C) the project is finished before June ended. Win, win, win! Now to plan for Quarter 3….
