I had actually decided what I was going to do for this graduation quilt last year, before I had EQ, but I used EQ8 to help me figure out how many blocks to do and the borders. I knew I was going to use muli colored cats, but I kept them blue for the ease of design.
The beauty of EQ8 is that I used it to tell me how much fabric I needed for the borders (I, of course bought a little extra just to make sure), but it was nice that I didn't have to do the math of figuring out how much I needed. The program did it for me!
Generally I try use as much stuff at home as I can, but we are in the process of moving, so most of my fabric is packed! So I did have to buy some to finish the borders. But I am glad I did, because I found some CUTE cat fabric.
Here is the finished top! I don't know if you can tell, but the outside border is rainbow cat prints!
I just did a simple meander in grey. With a wide flannel grey back (which I did not get a picture of). Wide back fabrics are definitely favorite for quilt backs, although soon I will have to sew them together to use as a backing for a scrappy quilts!
And here is the finished quilt! I am so happy with how it turned out! And the recipient liked it too, which is all that matters!
