I just did a workshop at one of my quilt guilds, Flying Geese. It was a short 3 hour lesson on how to make a quilt called Those Crazy Cats by Buggy Barn. I just thought it was so cool I took some photos to show you.  No this is NOT the one I made, that one isn't even close to being done but I just had to take the class. Trouble is I now have another UFO (UnFinished Object) screaming at me every time I get near my sewing machine.

So many projects, so little time……..

Those Crazy Catz Quilt made in 'brights' (a term meaning bright colors not traditional colors)

Just goes to show you, quilting ain't what it used to be!  Think of quilts and quilt guilds and you immediately think of a bunch of little old ladies sitting in a circle making a drab old fashioned quilt.  It might surprise you to know that there are women AND men who quilt, some quite famous guys and pretty young too, who make a lot of money doing it and woman of all ages as well.  Now if I could just make enough from quilting to pay for all my fabric stash I would be happy but I doubt anyone can make THAT much money!

June 2016 Update.  I notice (finally) that there are a number of comments asking about the pattern.  I should have said when I first posted this, the pattern came from a book by Buggy Barn:

That Crazy Thing We Do
8 Crazy Pieced Designs. Projects in this book include:
Crazy Cats
Crazy Canoes
X Marks the Spot
Welcome
Briar Rose
Strings of Time
Bloomers

Price: $35.00 each

I found the above informaton above at http://webstore.quiltropolis.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details_side.asp?Shopper_id=90836241823209083&Store_id=1023&page_id=23&Item_ID=1059 (this is not an affiliate link).  I don't know how many they have but you could probably find the book on ebay as well.
