Well, my rules went out the window this time, since they didn't fit the challenge that well.

This was my source photo for my silhouettes - the kittens we adopted back in November, Snickers and Starburst.

I decided to use a "sunshine and shadow" pattern for the background.

The silhouette shapes were cut out, and the tail for Snickers moved around a bit to look better. I pieced together a bunch of greys to make "new" fabric for the kittehs. Fused to the background and I think my wonder-under is old- it stuck, but not well.

I blanket stitched around the silhouettes- they were never going to stay down, and it really helped them pop a bit.

Finally, I had some grey ginkgo fabric I bought a while back to make masks, but I decided that a pillow sham would be a better use for it. Done and dusted!

I made it 16 x 16 final size, since I actually had a pillow form in the house that size. Not quilted, but pieced and appliqued.

Total yardage used = 0.71
