Pets on Quilts

*Note for Tuesday Archive  ....The quilt below was made up of charm squares of many different colours and patterns and I struggled to find a fabric that tied it together....in the end I used a Zebra print fabric and even today.....15+ years since making this quilt....I am still happy with that choice. I wish I had taken a better photo now (the quilt is HUGE) but you can see the zebra print in the lower left of the photo below*

I have been heading over to LilyPad Quilting on a daily basis for the last few days to see the Pets on Quilts Show 2014 which is currently happening over there. I love quilts and I love animals so after oohing and aahing over everyone elses links I thought.....hey, I have pets and I have quilts, if planned carefully, I could have a Pet on a Quilt!

My darling Lila got a wash today so I decided to have a photoshoot.  Hubby is out for the morning so I snuck her into the house and .......oh, naughty me.........let her get up on the couch with a quilt (right now I should tell you that if you so much as drop a hint to Hubby that I did this, I will be in sooooo much trouble).  The quilt  is one that I made many, many moons ago from a charm square swap at a quilt group.

I finally got a shot of Lila that I love.  As they are not allowed inside very often and NEVER, EVER allowed on furniture, she was a little confused and nervous and it took alot of reassurance (aka...bribes) to get her to sit still.

Here are some out takes:

I am entering Lila in the category of  Dog or Puppy on a Quilt but there are other categories and not necessary involving actual pets. Oh please pop over to the link above (or click on the logo below) and have a look at all the other cuties on parade!
