Cat bag progress

 I made a little progress on the Laurel Burch cat bag.  The pockets and lining are ready to add the end sections.   Usually I've purchased colored zippers that blend better with the lining, but I was able to buy a large bag of white 9" zippers recently.  And the closest place to buy zippers otherwise is 70 miles away, so it seemed like a good option.  They are inside the bag and the only zipper that is outside will match the bag colors much better. 

I love that black lining with the stars. It makes me think of the art projects for kids where they scratch off the black coating to reveal the colors and picture underneath.  And the orange batik looks great against the cat fabric of the outer part of the bag.  

Next steps are the hardest - stitching through many layers of fabric to attach those end sections to the lining and pockets, and then adding the edge binding and attaching to the quilted outer bag.  Lots of thick seams make for slow stitching.
