It’s time once again for a Featured Participant. This time I’m talking to CathyP.
Cathy got hooked on quilting when her daughter asked for help making a quilt. She’s been quilting since the fall of 2006 when she got a new sewing machine. She says she learns new techniques with every quilt. (Don’t we all?)
This is not Cathy’s first mystery quilt. She has previously made Bonnie Hunter’s Double Delight, and is currently working on Bonnie’s Roll, Roll, Cotton Boll mystery.
I asked Cathy why she decided to join the Quilt-Along, and she said, “I was hoping to learn some new techniques. I liked the flying geese technique you taught us,” adding that she is glad she joined in on the Quilt-Along.
Although she said she could have found fabric in her stash to make the quilt, she instead bought fabric for this project, because, as she says, “Shopping is fun, too!” I definitely agree with that!
I also asked Cathy if she had any trouble making the quilt. She answered: “The main trouble that I typically have is the difference in mediums and lights. I changed a fabric in my quilt after a few blocks.”
I think her quilt turned out wonderfully. It’s got that soft blended look about it, but is also very bright and cheery.
Cathy says, “I hope to make the quilt into a wall hanging for my office. It will certainly add some color to my walls.”
Yes, I believe it will! Thanks, Cathy, for sharing your quilt with us.

I agree it turned out wonderful. It is so springy!
Yes it turned out beautifully. I remember seeing just the fabrics and I admired the soft look of the pink and green then. I was thinking it would sew up into a quilt that I would like, and I was right! Lovely job, Cathy.
Your pinks and greens are SO pretty. I love the huge flowers in the border.
