This could be it....the last quilt I make for 2016. Still needs some borders.
A few hours later and I was to this point...previewing a bigger final border from the original design. Love it!
My inspiration fabric on the final border has been patiently waiting in my fabric stash for 12 years or more. I think it was the first batik yardage I bought on a trip to a Houston quilt show. I've pulled it out so many times and tried to find a design for it and then in October this pattern was on the line up for our Breakfast Club project...
It came together so quickly...just goes to show you sometimes it is so important to let your fabric "age."
Counting the days until I go and get the new puppy! In the meantime, you must see how big Eli has gotten. He is such a wonderful cat...only seven months old. He plays great with McKinley...I know he will love having a new puppy too!

Your quilt is gorgeous. It makes me want to start collecting batiks!
I really love your quilt ! ...and Eli ! :)
That Eli is one beautiful cat! So striking! The quilt is also striking...you always come up with such lovely color combos....thanks for sharing.
Your quilt is beautiful. I like it better with a dark background than the original picture.
Your quilt is gorgeous! Perfect use of your batik that has been "aging" for a while.
Yip, there is a perfect quilt design for every fabric. Sometimes it just takes a while for it to become known, and all the other factors to sort themselves out. Then it is just perfect. Just like your quilt!
