I pieced this 13" quilt top using Karen Stone's "Yardbirds Circling the Cat" design. I used the diagram in the book as a starting point for the eight pointed star, But ended up drafting it myself. The rest was just free-pieced with no pattern. So it may kind of look like that quilt, but mostly is something I put together. It has been sitting around waiting for me to put a border on it. I haven't really finished anything to put in my guild's quilt show in May. This was the one thing that was closest to being finished.

| It's possible that it may turn out that a solid fabric may look the best as the binding, but I decided to piece together 1" strips of fabric to make a multi color binding. |
I staggered the strips to eliminate waste. I wanted the stripes to be on the diagonal, so I made my first cut at a 45 degree angle, and then cut 1 1/4" strips
So it is all ready to be bound, now the hard part. The quilting. I do okay on small quilts, I just have such a hard time deciding on a design. Wish me luck! Stay tuned!
