Bowls with Borders!

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!

My girl Kalli-cat has finally found her spot near my sewing machine.
 And she's getting better at letting me take her picture.
