Oh hello there! Welcome to the First Blush Blog Hop hosted by Crystal Nilpirom and Windham Fabrics.
Don’t you love how Roo has to get in on the quilty action?
When this fat quarter bundle arrived I couldn’t wait to start cutting into it.
It had me at meow.
I am definitely not one of those people that let pretty fabric bundles sit on the shelves. They are doing no good there.
So let’s get started.
Don’t be afraid to seperate your fat quarter bundles into specific colorways. For this quilt, I only used the reds, pink & blues.
I’ll stash the others away for another project.
Oh look another kitty helper stretching in the stars.
The “Stars in the Snow” pattern by The Pattern Basket was just perfect to show off this sweet fabric.
And now we have another snuggly quilt to add to our collection.
Happy stitching. Happy creating. Happy Everything. And when your budget is tight or you just don’t want to leave a single piece of fabric behind …… don’t forget you can use your leftover fat quarter pieces to make your quilt back too!
Beautiful quilt and models!!! I love that nothing was wasted!!
Sharon says

I absolutely love your quilt! The fabric selection was just right. It is truly beautiful.
I just love the colors you chose from the collection. The quilt is beautiful. I love the stars and cats.
I love your quilt! Stars are always my favorites. And Roo reminds me of our late, great Shadow. Gray with tan and white markings. And a personality as unique as her coloring.
Angela says

Nancy D says
Nice quilt and thanks for the information! I always thought I had to use all the fabric in a bundle together (OCD), because it was a collection, so hardly used my bundles. Thanks for giving me permission to split them up! lol
I loved the stretch-y cat - BEYOND CUTE!

Your quilt is lovely! Great cat/quilt photos too.
Kay says
I love the simplicity of this design. I often divide my bundles up for specific colours too. Red and aqua are my favourites combinations and I tend to pick them out before anything else. x

love that it looks vintage.
Thank you for hosting a blog tour. Is always fun to see what this talented bloggers and crafters do with the same collection. Very inspiring! I love when they show tutorials. I would love to make your cozy quilt with big squares! Such a nice easy project for fall!
Lovely quilts! Love the idea for the back!

I like your suggestion to choose just a few of colors. I always thought a yellow and pink quilt would be lovely. These would be perfect!

Beautiful quilt!

I have been wanting to make a Stars in the Snow quilt, and your version in First Blush is gorgeous!! I love it!
Geri Alper says
Love your ideas!! They are perfect for this fabric
Beautiful colors, beautiful work. 🙂 I love using every scrap, which explains the closet full of zipper bags and little purses, lol.
Love stars and they look fantastic in this fabric.
Jayme Lane says
It’s so pretty.
Susan Ecklund says
I love your quilts-perhaps almost as much as your sweet cats do. The Stars in the Snow pattern is especially lovely.
Donna says
Bundles of fabric are so pretty, I confess that I let them intimidate me until that magical day when they are untied and cut up into a quilt. These are such happy fabrics, they almost demand to be sewn together.
Such a pretty quilt! Just perfect for girls to snuggle in!
Love seeing kitties on your beautiful quilt!
An awesome quilt!!! And kitties ! !! Thank you .
I love star patterns most of all and your quilt is so pretty! These fabrics make it look both old and new. Thanks for sharing in the blog hop and giveaway!
Little girls and kitties. Wonderful “accessories” to any quilt. This one is lovely — I like that you narrowed the color range down. And that the back is as colorful (more!!!) than the front. And that even little squares of leftovers ended up as that darling pouch. I’m glad you have this addition to the girls’ and kitties’ snuggle options.
Lovely idea with the back! And the qilt looks wonderful! Great furry helpers!
Great use of fabric!
Every quilt needs it own cat! Or is that every Cat needs its own quilt?
Kerry Ryan says
Beautiful quilt
That quilt is perfect. Love it!
You have nice cats an a nice quilt… i like the stars. 🙂
Have a nice day the Nähbegeisterte
Amanda G says
I love the little dangle scissors on your zipper. That is adorable!
