Fran's Paper Pieced Cats Quilt

Picture
This is Fran's absolutely amazing paper pieced cats quilt. She designed the layout of the quilt and had a wonderful idea for the quilting motif - an allover loop-de-loop with yarn balls.
Picture
The paw print blocks in the border are a really fun touch and I love the way she incorporated the cute pictures from a pre-printed panel in alternating blocks.
Picture
Fran also included the printed cats along the sides and bottom so the quilt ended up the correct size - 110" x 115".  This is a big quilt and I was excited and a little nervous about quilting it, but I think it turned out wonderful.
Picture
Here you can see the quilt on my longarm and a closeup of the loop-de-loops and yarn balls. What a perfect quilting idea!

Before and after quilting shots of the blue cat. He looks so cute with the runaway yarn all around him. The quilting helps tell the story of the quilt without overwhelming the top.
