I layer front and back fabrics right sides together, then cut a piece of batting to match and add that on one side. Sew the 3 layers together with a quarter-inch seam all the way around, leaving a 4-5” opening for turning. Clip corners, turn and press. Stitch the opening closed as you top stitch the perimeter of the mat. Quilt as desired. They are so easy to assembly-line produce!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765115495938525371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-7722864368310266072020-06-18T09:26:08.423-06:002020-06-18T09:26:08.423-06:00Thanks, Kathy!

Over the past few years, I have been 'collecting' pink fabrics here and there, and now I have a bunch. It would be fun to make a pink quilt - my grandmother, back in the early 60's/50's, used solid pink as a mainstay in her quilting. It was a 'thing'. So it would be nice to make one to honor her that way (This thought just popped into my head, but I do believe I will follow through with it this year.)Barb Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886530410606428064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-77329316924745811022020-06-14T09:56:34.791-06:002020-06-14T09:56:34.791-06:00An ear infection cannot be fun!

There are a few rescue places close by me and I think it would be fun to send them some love! I'm loving your pink basket. That's just the thing I need to fill up my new shelves in the sewing room closet if I can ever get the "kids" to put them up for me. (I would do it myself, but the arthritis in my hands won't allow me to hold a drill for long!) <br />The pattern on the "Creature" quilt is nice. The pinks are great!<br />I'm hoping that all the unrest around the world will bring about some positive changes to bring absolute equality to everyone, and to stop racial bias in all aspects of authority. I am just plain sick of what has gone on! claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572555442321120647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-89065156342805807932020-06-14T09:46:19.187-06:002020-06-14T09:46:19.187-06:00I'm sorry to hear you had an ear infection.

I'd love to make more kennel quilts, but it has been hard for me to find a new local recipient every time we move. Maybe I should just commit to one place and mail the quilts to them. Any suggestions? Maybe your local kennel/shelter?Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-83407849320441252332020-06-14T08:55:50.897-06:002020-06-14T08:55:50.897-06:00I'd like to know more about your kennel quilts...I'd like to know more about your kennel quilts.

I've been feeling pretty depressed with the discouraging daily news, the crazy weather (it was 38 degrees at 6:30 this morning), my garden full of weeds. I did finally start the quilting on my Centred sew along piece which needs to be finished this coming week. It was just too cold to work outside. I know this to shall pass, but I'm feeling real unmotivated right now. <br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-58796156692309919042020-06-14T07:05:38.865-06:002020-06-14T07:05:38.865-06:00I like your take on the basket construction!

I do make kennel quilts and I've been meaning to make some more, but my cutting mat and ironing board are jam packed with current projects, and there is no room to cut out the batting I picked up. The fabric front and backs have been cut for awhile and waiting patiently for me to clear a space for the batting. I guess it's high time to clear the decks.mangozzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161843244215941676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-16552727397802730002020-06-13T16:17:15.040-06:002020-06-13T16:17:15.040-06:00There is a lot of confusion here about the basket....There is a lot of confusion here about the basket...I’m wondering why the basket is empty, Molly is worried that it is too small for a vintage kitten, and Buddy is worried it might be too small for his head.
