Cleo #2 is complete and boy, am I pleased !! Mike chose the border fabric and I took it from there. Here is the front and the back with Bridges the photobombing cat. The picture below that is the back; if you zoom in you’ll see the outline of the cat’s head. I made sure the quilting (which I did) didn’t go through the cat’s face.

I’ve been working a bit through FPP (foundation paper piecing, aka paper piecing. I didn’t much care for the batik colors and so I’m going to put it to use by making a pillow for the cat/dog. Here is part 1 — the paper piecing blocks. Next I’ll create the pillow case with some nice backing fabric which will wrap around these blocks.

I seem to gravitate toward bright, vivid fabric so I’m going to continue my FPP journey by making more blocks like the following. I have four different patterns for the blocks; you can see two of the blocks below. I’m not sure if this will be a quilt or a wall hanging, or. . .

Here’s the third clue in my Cotton Cuts Mystery Quilt.
