One more thing

I forgot to tell you about the fabrics that I used. A few summers ago we were on an Alaskan Cruise and I made stops at all the quilt stores I came across. In one they had a bundle of fabrics that went together and the main fabric was of these bright cats. None of the fabrics were very big but they were enough to make several blocks. We came home and I unpacked and put that bundle tied with pretty ribbon on a shelf and there it sat. I decided to make Kalissa a big girl quilt like I'd made for Kailyn. I found the bundle with the cats and bright purple and tan prints. Of course that wasn't enough to make a very big quilt so I went searching through all the old fabric scraps. I found all sorts of tans and purples and even fabric with cats on them. That's what I used to make this quilt. I even had the left over fabric for the backing and the all organic cotton batting. No added cost. Yeah!

When I finished piecing the quilt I had to pick a quilting pattern. Since Kalissa takes ballet lessons I chose ballet shoes with intertwining ribbons. I wanted to give her something to go with the quilt and I found it at Amazon. A Kitty cat that takes ballet lessons. I was pleased with the way it worked out. I was even able to use some embroidery patterns I've had forever of Felix the cat and his girl friend Kitty Kat. When things work, they work.
