Cats and Dogs and One Rabbit

Cats and Dogs and One Rabbit - I made this quilt "Cats and Dogs and One Rabbit" for KyAnn, the daughter of a friend I work with. Her kids had outgrown their baby/toddler clothes and she could not bring herself to get rid of them. I offered to make a quilt for her son and daughter perserving some of the clothes and lots of memories. I made a dinosaur quilt for her son and this quilt for her daughter. When I suggested making it, I never expected the bag of knit outfits that she brought me. KyAnn loves animals and we chose the pattern for Gingham Dog & Calico Cat from the Encyclopedia of Classic Quilt Patterns book. Using an applique pattern allowed me to stabilize the knits onto the background fabric and I incorporated as many of the cute little designs from the outfits as I could. Collars and bows are made from my fabric stash. Everyone loved the way it turned out. Why the rabbit? While I was working on the quilt, KyAnn adopted a rabbit so of course a rabbit had to be added and he looks right at home.
