It is my day for Bowls with Borders!
I challenged myself to only use my stash to create this project. Originally I was going to make a table runner for a gift, but realized that wouldn't work. Duh! Ruins the surprise to blog about a gift! So I dug out my scraps from some recent projects. I also had planned to resize the pattern larger. However I forgot and printed it as is, so decided I needed to not waste the paper and do it as originally printed.
From the scraps I used can you tell what my favorite colors are? I slightly altered the paper pieced pattern. The pattern had a band of color across each bowl. I decided to make the bowls in one fabric.
I machine quilted the stripe I left off at the top of the bowls. As you can see Denyse Schmidt is one of my favorite fabric designers.
I inserted squares folded in half into triangles into the corners to create a hanger. I plan on hanging it in my kitchen .
I took these pictures in my parents beautiful backyard. As you can see my dad's cat Jasmine (la princessa) is a ham. Take out a camera and she will pose. But she tricked me. I wanted her to take a picture with my quilt.
But she wouldnt let me get close with the quilt.
And I tried.
But this was the best she would let me do.
Hence why she is Jazzy-girl aka Jasmine aka la princessa!

All the blocks will be posted on
Madame Samm's Pinterest page, too.

What beautiful, calming colors! Your bowls are beautiful!
I like your choice of colors. Nice job.
Your bowls are just so relaxing to look at with those colors. The green fabric in your bowl creation is beautiful and your quilting around the edges really shows off your bowls. Love it! As for the stubborn little kitty photos, you gave me a nice little laugh to start my day off. Thanks for hopping with us and I hope you'll do it again sometime. :O)

Your kitty Kalli is really sweet too
I adore your bowls project. Green and blue are such lovely colors so calming. I like the bowls without the rim accents too! Great quilting expertise here too
Thanks for sharing!
Love your bowls and the color choices.
Nice cool summer colors! A quilt just isn't a quilt without the cat's stamp of approval. Sweet kitty.
I love the fabrics you used in your project and the way you finished it for hanging is a great idea. I may have to go back and add something like that to my project. My cat loves to join in when I try to take pictures too. Your post made me smile.
I love the colors you used, too! This is very nice, and I'll bet now you're glad it worked out the way it did.
Love your bowls, especially the color of the fabric. Like your idea of how to hang it. Thank you for being part of the hop.

Hello Colleen in NC
I love your bowls with borders little quilt with the soft muted blues and greens and the coordinated pretty backing fabric.
Cats can be unpredictable sometimes. I know because we have 3 who always help me which usually means sitting on things I am making, no matter where I try to work. Thanks for sharing, from CA, USA
Your bowls are lovely, I like the fabric that you used. Your fathers cat is adorable. I never seen a cat that liked its picture taken. Mine is also camera shy. I take candid shots that she does not know. I keep the flash off. You have a great partner to sew with.
I love your blue and green fabrics. Lovely quilt.
LG, Britta
Looking good! I like the color choices too. I would love to try paper piecing. Just another thing to add to my to-do list! ha!
I love your mini! What gorgeous fabric as well. Your bowls are lovely. Loved reading your post and had a few giggles. It was fun to see Jasmine also. Animals,like little kids, don't always do what you want them to. hehe. Thanks for sharing your bowls with us. Super job!~

Very pretty. I love your bowls and the cats. Thank you for sharing.
Very cool bowls. I am very onto green right now also. Any and every shade!
I just loved this, the colours, the size, the stack, the backing, the way you are hanging it - good by sleeves - this is so fabric saving and no band just the bowl...ideas ideas. What a ham your Dad's cat, princess is and Kalli-cat so sweet and great pose on your - you won a sewing cabinet! Way to go! Again LOVE your bowls. Thank you.

Your bowls with(out) borders are cute. I like the quilting definition of the bowl border, and the fabric selection. Thanks for sharing your project.
I am LOVING all these stacked bowl mini-quilts! Don't tell the others, but your DS interpretation is one of my faves! Heh, your parents' cat looks like she's on her way to becoming a LOLcats superstar.
Oh sorry - somehow I missed your bowls on August 24th - these are so busy and exciting days!
I like your littel bowl pile you made after my small pattern. Somehow the plaid base bowl is dragging my eyes to look and look and look...
Of course I had joy with your cat - I am a cat lover too.
