Cheetah's Magic Carpet Quilt

When I discussed making a bed quilt for Cheetah, he told me that the quilt he loved the most was my Floating quilt.  It uses the Magic Carpet quilt pattern by Christina Camelli.  I used her printout from the pattern and I was able to figure out how to make the quilt into a queen size.  

My sister's son also really liked this pattern.  So while I was unavailable my sister and my mom went and picked out fabric for two very similar quilts.  They did a great job.  I cut out both quilts at the same time.  

Cheetah's quilt has the red in the center.  My nephew's quilt has purple in the center.  I used the long arm to hold all the columns as I was piecing the quilt.  

 

This quilt is 93 inches square without borders and 99 inches square with borders.

The Bernina Q24 was still being serviced, so I basted the quilt in my basement.  

Then I quilted it with the Tiara. 

Cheetah wanted a flame-like design for the quilting. 

While it would have gone faster using the long arm, it quilted up very easily.  (It is the basting on the floor that is a lot more work than loading a quilt onto the long arm machine.)

Kitty once again enjoyed testing it out before I got the binding on.  I love how she matches the quilt!

Cheetah loves his new quilt and I love how it looks on his bed.  

I also made the three pillows on his bed.
