Thanks to both of you for your information,sharing of the website and the story of the Japanese cat. I will remember to make the cat waving the hand, Uh.... paw both left and right and then include the story with the quilt, it will add a nice little touch. I will post a picture of the finished quilt before I give it to her, which will be awhile as I babysit my beautiful baby grandchildren while my daughters go to college.
