Cabin Cats #4 .... Stripes

This one is all quilted and has the binding, too. how about that!!  actually, the reason it is quilted already is because it was pieced on the longarm....and since i had it on there....it got quilted, too. very quick.....a few hours project.


You know...when you lay something out on the table...it looks one way....once you take a photo of it....it looks different. i think i should have used that very light fabric in place of the blue. but so many of these fabrics are dark and the blue was just so cheery .... but the light looks out of place. oh, well...hindsight.



This is so simple...all you do is cut strips however wide you want them...across the width of the fabric....and stitch them down...one after the other.



And remember to add the borders at the top and bottom....and add side borders as you go down...after stitching down a couple strips.  easy-peasy and quick.   i like quick and easy....i keep repeating myself...don't i? LOL



Once again the backing is a piece from Wilma at  www.christianlanequilters.com   if you haven't tried her FatBacks...you are missing out. her customer service is out of this world.



And to repeat myself once again...the quilting was done with the Quiltazoid...my go-to number 1 first choice. this design is SOOOo fast and SOOoo easy.  gotta love   www.quiltazoid.com   

This little beauty is 50 x 66" and used 3.25 yards of fabric. running real short on a couple of the fabrics....and have lots of selvages and pieces. so you know the LAST Cabin Cats will be a selvage and strips quilt.

OK...it will be a few days before Cabin Cats #5 makes an appearance.  first off...i have to figure out what to do...but, most importantly, i have to get the borders on the wedding quilt and quilt that baby up. that will be my last thing on my March to-do list. woohoo!!...then i can play (more) LOL 

Somewhere around the 25th or 26th i will be heading out to the Duck for 3 days of demolition...really looking forward to that. i will bring back some pictures to show you my destruction.
