Yesterday, Remy and I finished up the borders on my "Bounce" quilt. I did the sewing while Remy did the supervising and the unnecessary application of cat hair (ahem!)
I left the room for two minutes....
and Remy decided to roll around and wrinkle up the quilt....
It's a good thing he is so cute.
Lint rollers are another good thing.....

This pattern was so much fun to make and would work well with any type/pattern of fabric. I was really pleased that you could use a layer cake so there aren't scraps left over (I seriously have a scrap basket problem but that is for another day).
I think it took longer to lay out the blocks and decide how to cut them than piece the blocks. The instructions are clear and it all pieced together perfectly. There are a couple of different versions included in the pattern. I used version 2 for the star blocks (solid stars instead of pieced center blocks). My version has two different size stars. For the pieced border, I cut the strips the same width and grouped the strips by color (similar to Thelma's version). I can't wait to get this one to a longarm quilter to finish up.
