Katiezquiltz Batting Practice - I entered a 5 and only 5 contest by Ricky Tims. My cat is always playing with balls and this pose of her on the bed with her paws in the air looked like she was batting at something. I'm also a baseball nut. So it only made sense to me to combine both my like for my cat and baseball. The cat and balls are hand applique. The 1/4 square triangles were made using 1/4 ST paper. I wanted to try a curvey border and figured out how to cut and stitch the curves. Much of the quilt is stitch in the ditch with some free motion quilting in the larger areas. I met my goals of having fun, meeting a deadline and trying something new. Now to donate it to a cause or hang it on the wall in my home.
