This whole project made Cathy very nervous, she couldn’t grasp the concept of me putting them together with a border making 2 halves a whole. Cathy’s half is on the left and mine on the right, with the brown toad. Cathy loved the toad and I agreed to put them in our quilt. I designed the border and put the border on each quilt then added a muslin strip of 3” later to be removed and also a small piece of border that I would later attach the two pieces together at the top. Cathy quilted the quilt then I cut the two quilts apart, we bound the quilts then I attached the two together with the small border pieces. We entered the quilt at the 2010 MQS quilt show- “South of the Border” competition, it did not win. I then entered the quilt in the 2010 Missouri State Fair, Sedalia, MO. The quilt won 1st place plus Best of Show in its division. The back fabric was order from Hancock’s Of Paducah. Most of the fabrics on the front came from Quilters Station of Lee’s Summit, MO.
