Great job - love the colors!!!

This makes my heart happy, especially the cat designs. Very original.

looks great, love the cats...wendy

Looking good , even if we can't go to the stores,

I love ho bright and cheerful it is.

It's amazing how all the details are different but go together beautifully. Having those cat panels in just the right spots really pull all the colors together. Nice work! I look forward to seeing the completed quilt.

Well put together Pam, it's looking really effective and makes the eye look for all the hidden treasures. It's going to be gorgeous! Love Chris

Love this quilt and the cats!
Scrap quilts are my favourite!

Love Love your quilt. The cat fabric is beautiful and your layout so clever and all the colors just make the quilt a happy one. I would love to have that cat fabric, but have never seen it in SA.

You sound like us. We just go to the grocery store, Sams. It's an hour away and opens for Seniors at 7 during covid. That means up at 5 if you want coffee or eat before you go.-lol
Your quilt is coming together beautifully! I am confused though about something. In your original post above you said 'quilt as you go'. Below in a comment you said 'after quilting and putting together you hope it is just as pretty'.
I totally understand your hesitancy about buying fabric online. I have ordered and been extremely happy and pleased. I just ordered the backing for the quilt I am working on now. It was by Henry Glass. Missouri Star had it too, but I found the exact same thing $2 a yard cheaper at fabrics.com. They gave me a 10% off first order for signing up and free shipping because my order was over $49.
I have also ordered the same blue vine fabric I needed more of from Joanns and been just as disappointed. Dye lots were really off. I will be using it on the back of Shams and just hope the scraps I have of the original, will be enough for my scallop border on front of shams.
Good luck finding what you want and I look forward to seeing the finish.

This is the site I got my backing that I liked. Here is your collection, scroll down the page at the link, but I don't see it in the width you want. They do have a toll free number and may be able to help you match something in a 108 width. I have had to piece my backs before when I couldn't get the width but I'm like you. I like the 108 inch. It sometimes comes out about the same price or cheaper, and you don't have to piece.
The last two links were the 108 inch backing I ordered for some Civil War blocks I am making. The fabric is the same and the difference in the price shows only $1 a yard difference. However, when I signed up at fabric.com I got a 10% off first order and free shipping, so I ordered from them. I received my package in 3 days too.

I guess I will bug you to death, but here is another page I found, when I typed in Benartex 108 inch backing fabric.
