The faux fur backing was surprisingly easy. It was a couch throw originally, with a front and back but it was only sewn on the edges, so wasn't quilted. I undid the seams to seperate the two pieces, laid the faux fur piece flat and spray basted it to the top.

That might be the trick actually, there's no batting in this one.

And I random quilted in the ditch. The stitching "flattened" the fur on the back, but over time it's worked loose so it's fluffy all over again and you can't see any stitching on the back.

I wish I'd made it bigger, the kids (and cats) just love it.
