I started this little wallhanging in a class where I first learned to paper piece. It is made from scraps of my favorite fabrics. I enjoyed making random, different blocks and then connecting them together with pieced or one fabric sashings, etc.
My favorite fabrics always make me feel good. I have this hanging in my sewing/computer room where I can see it daily. There are about 4 cats 'hidden in plain view' in the fabrics and blocks. The airplane is for my mom because she loved being a pilot. The lighthouse is for me because I like looking at them...especially if I can see the ones in Maine..one of my favorite states, even though I'm from California :-)
Very nice quilt! Love the colors, and it is arranged so well. I am a fairly new blogger too, and I have enjoyed meeting other quilter/bloggers via this virtual quilt festival. Your doggies are precious.
