The Nine Kittens quilt is finished. The quilt measures 86" x 86". My daughter-in-law Amy found the printed blocks, along with nine puppy prints that I used in the Nine Puppies quilt in January. They were all sewn together into one long, skinny strip, three blocks by six blocks. I took them apart and incorporated them into these two quilts, which I designed in EQ8. The prints must be quite vintage, as I have hunted for them online and found nothing similar.
The batting is Quilters' Dream wool. I used 40-wt. white Omni thread on top and 60-wt. cream Bottom Line thread in the bobbin. I used a combination of rulerwork and free-motion. My 18" Handi Quilter Avanté is hand-guided, not computerized.
I sew bindings on entirely by machine. This is what the stitches look like on the back.
