It was another indoor weekend. It’s hot, humid and disgusting here, so very little time was spent in the garden. That’s fine, Burton and I have plenty to do inside.

The biggest of which was putting together to top for our Merry Kitties. While the layout was nice with just the two blocks, it wasn’t very big. So I consulted the Royal Fluffy one, and he agreed, adding some sashing and cornerstones would build it out nicely.

It meant putting the top together took a little longer than planned.

Which meant Burton got a nap in. And once the sashing and cornerstones were done, it was still a tad small. So borders were callled for.

It meant a late dinner for me and the boys.

But I think it was worth it! As a bit of a recap, this one sprang from a Jolly Bar mom bought for me. A Jolly Bar is 42 5′ x 10″ pieces (so half a layer cake) – a precut exclusive to the Fat Quarter Shop. This particular one is “Kitty Christmas” by Urban Chicks (the same people that did Kitty Corn and Owl-o-ween) and features some cute retro kitties.

The quilt is made almost entirely from the Jolly Bar – the exceptions are the black background fabric, the red polkadot border, and some of the chain squares.

The fun snowflake fabric was in my Christmas stash and just happened to match the Jolly Bar colours (red, green, pink and aqua) perfectly! I would have had enough to do them with other Jolly Bar fabrics (I have a few leftover) but it would look a little more chaotic that way I think.

Sadly, this one will not be going to the shop. When Mom gave me the fabric, I wasn’t actually planning on keeping the resulting quilt. But the more I worked on it, the more I fell in love with it. And I don’t actually have a Christmas quilt. And it does kind of match my Kitty Corn Hallowe’en quilt. I think I have to keep it!
