Now that we've had several cold December nights, the kitty beds on our back porch are more frequently occupied. Sometimes the kitties sleep single, sometimes in pairs, and sometimes they're in a big black-and-white pile where you can't tell where one cat ends and another begins. This is Stan Leigh and a buddy on my latest, green kitty quilt.

After the long process of working on my guild Challenge entry, it was nice to whip out a small, stress-free quilting project—like a kitty quilt.
Let's Go Green
This quilt started with a test block. I pulled from my stash of green fabrics and patchwork scraps to go with the orphan block.

A loopy, all-over free-motion quilting design was quick and fun.

The zingy, lime green binding was applied by machine. I think this binding livens it up the color palette.

Voila! A new kitty quilt for our entourage of tuxedo kitties.

I think the black kitties look quite dashing against the green fabrics.
