Tobykins

This is a little embarrassing, so I'm just going to come out and say it. I made this quilt for Toby. Yup, you heard that right, I wasted an insane amount of time making my damn cat a quilt. It's his 10th birthday next month and I wanted to make something special to mark the occasion.

Another way of viewing this occasion: I've made it 10 years without strangling the world's most obnoxious cat.

This one measures about 45"x60". I designed a front and a back for it, just like the last quilts I made.





I did a loop-de-loop design for the quilting, with little mice hidden here and there.



Jason found a piece of paper one night that I had been doodling the cat's name on over and over to practice for quilting it. "Please tell me you're not writing Tobykins on that quilt you're making," he said. Suuurrre... So, that's the cat's nickname right there in the bottom corner.



Trust me, it's there somewhere.

And finally, here's the monster himself sprawled out on his quilt while I was in the process of sewing on the binding.


Awwww.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go feed the world's most obnoxious cat before he wakes our neighbors.
