Munki Munki Kitties

When I won the cute buttercup bag from Michelle's giveaway, she also included a piece of Munki Munki kitty fabric. The scrap piece was hot pink and had the cutest kitties on it ( and I'm not even a cat lover!). I knew I wanted to frame each cat but the piece of fabric I had only had six cats and I knew six blocks wouldn't make a very big quilt. When I saw AmandaJean's Happy Go Lucky quilt, I had what Oprah calls my Aha moment. That AmandaJean is such an inspiration! I hope she doesn't mind my blatant copying of her quilt. Here's a close up of the six blocks ( you should click to enlarge the pics, those cats are so darn cute)-- And here's the quilt:
The piece of white muslin I had determined the size of this quilt which is 48"x68". I had intended to use Kona white but didn't have a big enough piece. The muslin is really light weight and I think this will be the perfect summer quilt. Sigh...

    Wow! What efficient use of that little scrap! Can I steal this?? And I mean the whole thing, not just the idea! ;)

    Good job! I'd have a hard time cutting into most of that fabric, it's so gorgeous!

    I'm not a cat lover either, but those are super cute! I wouldn't be surprised if we see many more of Amandajean's quilt - yours looks great!

    Well it is really lovely. I am making a quilt currently based on similar block construction. I need to get it finished!
