Since I'm trying to learn to embroider and I'm too cheap to waste the thread and stabalizer :shock: , I decided to finally make the cats a quilt all their own. Since we have (and have had) sooo many I decided not to leave anyone out. So, the 3 house cats that we currently own (well, own us) have their names on the front and all the others...alive or just alive in our memories have their names on the back. Geee..we didn't realize there were soo many! It worked out nicely I think and the cats haven't gotten off of it since I finished quilting and put it down for them :lol:

That is sooooo cute. I love the way the corners go together to make pinwheels. Very clever.

It is SO cute! If your cats ever get tired of it, my cat would love it!!!! (Me too!) :D

I LOVE LOVE that quilt!! How big are the blocks?? Tiny?? I love the colors... of everything! What are some of the blocks called... esp. the ones without the embroidery?

That's beautiful, it's amazing how they wrap themselves into our hearts and touch our lives! I hope they enjoy it for a very long time.

Thank you, thank you! There are really only 2 blocks that alternate.
They are 7 1/2" blocks and it was really easy to make. I don't know the name of the blocks, but it was a pattern called "Windows" oy M'Liss Rae Hawley from her book fat quarter quilts

barnbum 09-01-2008 03:56 PM

Thanks--it was the perfect pattern for your idea. Or should I say purrrrfect? :lol:

Really neat idea

What a nice Mommy you are!! I too have had a lot of kitties AND doggies in my life. They are like kids aren't they?

The quilt came out beautifully. What's next?

Very gorgeous quilt!
I can't let my dogs see that, they would mutiny to have one of their very own.

Thank you all!

Celeste 09-03-2008 01:11 AM

That sure is pretty and what a great way to remember your kitties past and present!

Quilt4u 09-03-2008 01:53 AM

That is so cute. And I see someone can't wait to use it.

quilter1962 03-26-2009 03:37 PM

Wow Patti

How on earth did I miss this thread - your kitty quilt is georgous. Such spoilt pets we all have. Did you embroider the blocks too. If so I definately need to get my unit out & play with it. :lol:

That's gorgeous!

I have a couch quilt I made and backed with a lime green faux fur throw, it's the family favourite and everyone loves it. But we recently got a new kitten and she has claimed it for her own. Not sure how a tiny 3 month old kitten can claim a whole quilt for herself, but she has! lol

littlehud 03-26-2009 06:01 PM

I love your quilt. What a wonderful idea. And I can tell that cat loves it too.

Debbie1 03-26-2009 08:43 PM

That's way CUTE!

Ah how sweet - I can just imagine your kitten knawing it to make it nice & comfy for herself. Any pics?

I agree with Tisha....I can just see that picture! It is amazing how such tiny bodies can take up sooo much room!..Well, I never was much good with physics :roll:

ania755 04-28-2009 08:59 AM

Its a great quilt....Your cats are very lucky :lol:

Shemjo 04-28-2009 09:36 AM

I missed this thread, too! Lucky kitties! :lol:

littlehud 04-28-2009 01:33 PM

Very cute. All quilt inspectors need a quilt of their own.
