My niece drew a picture of a cats' face. I copied it for a quilting pattern. Turned out cute on my practice quilt, but I will probably enlarge it for a showier effecton her quilt.

She's inspired now and draws things for me to make into quilting patterns. I'm afraid the bug has bitten her...

Looks like you might have a future fabric designer!! Neat...

This is a great idea, and now the quilted projects you make will last for years and years.
