56 Cats

56 Cats was a quilt that I saw on the front of a magizine and just had to make. The picture showed it done in scrapy style but I like the color blue so I just had to make a blue cat quilt also where I thought that it would go needed a denim/blue quilt.

I made the quilt for my Aunt's Cottage. She has a fabulous quaint cottage about a block or two from Lake Michigan. In the cottage there is a casual living room with a big overstuffed denim sofa. As I was making this that is where I envisioned the quilt, people sitting enjoying the company of family and the firelight sunngled under a warm quilt. I hand quilted the latice work so it took a long time to get done.

She enjoyed the quilt so much and said that it was to pretty to use so he displays it proudly hanging on a wall. Not quite what I had envisioned but I am glad that she loves it so much.
