I have also ordered the novelty fabrics needed for this cute design. It is in the current Fall issue of McCall's Quilting called Twist and Treat. I have found that usually the fabrics are nearly impossible to locate when the magazines come out. The Whiskers and Wine line by Northcott was just too cute not to try to find it. Through ebay and Etsy sellers I located enough of three fabrics. I will be replacing the white cats in the top with what you see in the black squares and placing the white zig zaggy blocks with what you see in the black squares. I found the border and believe this is the most important part of the look. The pattern uses a simple nine patch with a twist and turn trimming. The challenge if there were one to be considered is the mitered outer border. It will make a lap size quilt at 45 by 54.
The first two fabrics have arrived and the third should be here by Saturday. So much fun!
Last, but certainly not any less exciting is this new machine. It is on a permanent loan from Vikki. She had a few dyes that I plan to add to the collection. I have to learn how to use it first. Will start with some simple 2 1/2 inch strips for binding two Sunshine cuddle quilts for charities.
So what is happening this hump day for you =^.^=
