Did any of you participate in Elizabeth Hartman's
Catvent? I didn't do the quilt-along but knew it was just a matter of time before I tried one of the cats - here's
Cannon and
Amber, made into a little bag for Ruby and made entirely out of scraps from my
scrap stash (including scrap batting), so that makes this project 24 of
Scraps 101. Most of the scraps are from trimming the back of
Ruby's quilt before binding.

Its perfect for carrying
credit cards and any letters she needs
to post!
The handles have batting in them so they've got some structure as well as being nice and soft. I free motion quilted in the negative space around the cats, a different design on each side, and then quilted the whiskers.
It's good to be getting some FMQ practice, but it'll be a while before I'm happy with my skill level I think.
