Very beautiful quilt. Cute little kitty. :):)

I gotta be honest - I'm not a cat lover. But that has got to be the cutest kitten I've ever seen! She almost looks like a doctored photograph on the quilt! BTW your quilt is gorgeous and I love the aging a top has to do before it can be quilted (going to use that line).

A really beautiful quilt and an expert quilt tester in the making, she sure is a cutie pie :thumbup:

Love the bright quilt!!! And what a sweet face on your new missy!!!!

I finally decided the top had "aged" enough to be ready to quilt. I machine quilted overlapping waves across from side to side. The quilting really doesn't show much on the front and it's an interesting pattern on the back. The back is red on red and the quilting won't photograph well enough to post. Just use your imagination.
The pattern is

As I said earlier - it's an older pattern - 5 years, at least, since I purchased it.

We lost our cat, Kimchee, about a year and a half ago. He was about 17 years old. We decided it was time to find a new baby. So here's Miss Gracie Ella! Our house is much "bouncier" now!

What a cute kitten. I did the same as you (my cat was 171/2 too), because every time I was on here I saw all your lovely cats and I was jealous so decided to get another kitten. She is a pain in the back/neck literally. She climbs up my back onto me shoulder every time I am near the sink or the wood stove. Her claws are VERY SHARP. It will take 2 of us to clip them when we get the time to do it. so DON'T let her crawl up your back.

The quilt is beautiful and the kitten is adorable.

oh both are adorable :D
