Kitty Kondos Quilt Completed in 21 Days

I started this quilt on Oct 30.  My previous post, Nov 3, has a photo of the quilt layout.  I am placing it here, as well, so you can see the metamorphosis from bare bones to completed.  It is now in the happy hands of it's new owner.  

How it looked on Nov 3, on the design wall.  Scroll down.
All finished!   What a difference!
I used a flat flannel sheet, I purchased from LL Bean.  You can buy just one sheet from them, instead of a whole set, and it is high quality flannel.  I used 505 to spray baste the layers together, then I stitched in the ditch. Then between all the ditches, I stippled the rest. As I was working on piecing it together, the boxes appeared to have windows, and the blocks looked like condominiums.  Thus the name Kitty Kondos!

What's On The Design Wall in November?

I have not posted a "What's On The Wall" in quite awhile.  I have two quilts out for quilting and one packaged up for continuation at a later date.  I am growing a flannel quilt for my husband.  I started it last Wednesday, October 30.  I sent my fully flannel kitty quilt, that I made for myself several years back, with him when he and our daughter went on a cross-country RV adventure at the end of September.  When he got back, he said he wanted a nice warm flannel quilt like that.  We went into my flannel stash and picked out some fabrics that would go together and a package of 6" squares with cats on it to get started.  I believe this one is going to be another wonderful flannel cat quilt!  I home machine-quilt my flannel quilts.  Here is what is on the design wall so far.  I have two yellow flannels that I will be using in between the blocks you see here:

I am using fabric I have on hand.  If I use enough of my flannel, I will be able to make room for something else.  Looking at my stash, I would say I have a few children's quilts to whip up, to make more room.  I can donate the kids quilts and make someone smile!  I have more of those 6" cat squares; I bought three packages off of E-Bay years ago and never used them.  Well, time to use those up!
