"Rescue Me"

I finished the quilting on this quilt today.  Just the  trimming and  edge finishing left to do.   As the name implies, the recipient of this quilt is very involved in kitty rescue.  With a birthday coming up soon, I thought this would make a fitting gift.

I used Vicki's "Citrus" gradient..I just love the vibrancy of the colors!  For the cats, I used a print and just fussy cut them out and fused them to the background with Misty Fuse.  Then I quilted the whole thing, securing the appliquéd edges as I quilted.

I think it is cute...I'm happy with it and I think it's recipient will be too.

    Oh Deb, this is just the cutest quilt I've seen in a long time. Are the cats a pattern you have developed or can you tell me where you got it. This is a gotta have for this cat lover.

    That is stinkin' cute! I'm in the process of adopting another cat. To think, I wasn't a "cat person" until after Oscar adopted me!
