Finish – Kitty Mini Quilt Swap

I think this might be my favorite swap so far, the Kitty Mini Quilt Swap hosted by my friend, Felice, of SewScatterbrained.

My partner, Sue Mariotti, aka suesewcrafty on IG, (who has since received her package, so I can show you all here) said her favorite colors were green blue and yellow and I thought those colors would work well as a  gradient for the background… so why not sew together itty bitty 1″ squares, that’ll be fun right?
I’m not sure if fun is exactly the right word, but it definitely was satisfying to finish it and see all those squares come together just the way I imagined it.
There were moments when I was piecing it together where I second guessed my choices. Was the cat going to stand out enough or would it look like a jumbled mess?? I’ve worked on projects before where I changed course halfway through, to mixed results. I decided to just follow through with my original plan and if it didn’t turn out the way I expected I could make a new one. Luckily, I loved the end result!
It’s just how I pictured it and if I hadn’t already embroidered Sue’s cat’s name onto the banner I might be tempted to keep it. 🙂
