WIPs With Friends

I have been working on the center for my traveling quilt this past week.  

The cat, Jack, is all paper pieced.  

I used a pattern from Make Modern magazine issue 5.  

The cat fabric background is by Jodie Ric Rack of Ella Blue Fabrics and 

no I do not know the exact name.

Here you can see my progress.  

I really did NOT like that light orange dot so I replaced it out and replaced it. 

I am much happier with this version for sure.  Cole thinks it is alright too.

 This is how it turned out when it was all finished. 

 I could not be happier with this!  

You guys probably don't really remember Jack, 

but the tip of his tail was lighter than the rest of him so I made this tail tip lighter too.

Keeping with the geometric theme, I used the mixed blue for the base and 

proposed to use the V and Co geometric prints for the letters. 

 Originally, I thought about paper piecing them but in the end this was faster and

 I could control the letter placement.

I found an alphabet online (free, and no I don't remember the name) 

and enlarged the letters to work in this piece. 

 I used all my favorite Lizzy House prints from her Whisper Pallette 

for the backgrounds of the letters. 

I still need to fuse the letters down and then stitch around them and make sure they are all the same distance from the bottom.  

This was just a rough try to see how it looked. 

 I could not be happier with how it is turning out and can't wait 

to send it to my friends to add more cat stuff!
