I have met some of the quilters in my travels.
It was interesting because the cats from other countries were all different. -- Siamese sophisticated from France and brightly colored from NZ. I couldn't resist putting in the dog chasing sheep from NZ because I liked the colors.
The windowsills have little cat tracks on them. It doesn't show very much, but I know they are there.

What a cute idea. It makes your quilt quite a conversation piece. Thanks for all of the info.
