Next up in the finished quilt parade is Kittens in Cups!

I made this one to showcase the fabulous fabric – Tabby Road from Tula pink! Several of the prints were large – so I needed something big to show them off. The pattern from Sew Fresh quilts was perfect!

But the really special part of this quilt is the back…

It’s Minky! And it’s sooooooo soft! Mom had apprehensions about backing with Minky (there are some real horror stories out there on the internet). But I made sure I used lots of basting glue and took my time putting it together. Her long arm had no problems quilting it.

The only (small issue) was that the nap of the minky, and weight of the quilt, did make sewing the binding on a little slower. And it you had to be careful handsewing it down on the back – it was very easy to slide across it and not get the needle in.

But other than that – no issues! I even have a chunk left – enough to use for the back of baby blanket… or maybe something for his Lordship?
