Cathy L's Tops and Orphans

Wow, was I slacking this weekend? No, but I did fail to update the blog. I didn't get home until very late last night and went straight to bed, but on the way home I picked up 3 boxes of goodies that were at Mom & Dad's! One of those boxes was from Quilty Cat (Cathy L) and here is what it contained!

72" square NYMQ 2012 top

Cathy and I both participated in this year's New Year's Mystery Quilt, but mine is still a bunch of HSTs in a bag, LOL! She put hers together with some great fish fabric for borders. She also gave me 4 yards of the same fishies to use for backing. Yay! I love fish :D

45 x 60" Lime and Purple top

Here are a pair of tops that look super! I apologize in advance that the colors are not accurate. The top one looks ok but the bottom one just won't balance right. Maybe later I can get a picture in natural light.

45 x 60" green blue and purple top

36" sq peach and green Rail Fence top

Cathy L's orphan blocks

Tomorrow I hope to post some pics of the two boxes worth of backings that Marje sent. I can't wait to get the pieces measured and find some tops for them so I can make more kits for our quilting friends to help us finish!!

Cathy L's "Tidal Pools" Quilt

This cute quilt was made by Cathy aka Quiltycat. It is 52 x 68" and has the sweetest little star stitches in the binding!

I folded it for the photo so you can better see the pretty fabrics. Mum saw this one and was sad that she couldn't keep it for herself, LOL!!

Thank you, Cathy! I know you mentioned there's a 2nd package (the NYMQ) and I'll let you know when it arrives.
