A Friday Finish...My Cat Weave Quilt

I am happy to say that I found the energy to get this cute little quilt finished over the last two weeks.
 The day was sunny so I went out in the yard and I found my little patch of Crocus was in bloom.
 There is nothing that says spring to me like the first crocus. We live down in a bit of a hollow, so the daffodils are not blooming down here yet. They are next.

 I love the way the weaving of the strips looks on this quilt. It is all Lizzy House Catnap fabrics. I adore Lizzy House fabrics. The white is Kona white.
 The quilting is stitched in the ditch for the woven strips and then hubby had the idea for the swirls in the white squares for contrast and interest.
 I used the rest of the half yard pieces for the backing. This quilt finished at about 49 inches square. The binding is also leftover strips from the weave. I went with the red and brown to frame it up.
 Some of the cutest fabric ever. I love this big print. I love the back of the quilt as much as the front.
I hope you have a great Friday the 13th and a wonderful weekend. Linking up to TGIFF at Quilt Matters.  
Also linking up to Confessions of a Fabric Addict.
This is one of my Quarter 1 finishes from this list. Linking up with Adrienne at On the Windy Side for the 2015 FAL.

I just made it up, but I am sure it exists somewhere. If you search my blog, I did a post when I first started it about my method. You are a no reply blogger, by the way, so I can't email you directly.

Woo hoo for a great finish, Charlotte! That is a great fabric line. I'm jealous of those crocuses too -- it's still -1C and there's snow on the ground. Thanks for linking up to TGIFF!

This is super cool! I have a cat feature fabric which I think I may have to use like this too - thanks for the inspiration!
