Animal Shelters would love some mats too. If you have old blankets or towels also. Please remember our less fortunate furry friends.

I help out at our local shelter, when I can stand to see them, and I know that towels and blankets of any kind are needed.

I have seen a truly awesome all-blue quilt here, as someone's avatar. Wish I could remember who it is. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Rub some catnip on them and see what he does!

I lost my cats, 11/10 and 7/27. They both loved to touch anything really soft, like the really soft fleece fabrics. So, maybe a fleece border, where she can reach out & touch the edge while laying on the middle?

I am quite confident you can only use shades of blue and it will be lovely! Just be sure to stay in the same hue.

Here is a d9p that a Guild member made out of shades of pink. She used three colors. I think it turned out very nice.

The cat will really appreciate wool batting ... An old sweater if the quilt is small.

I,m a pretty good visualizer, the D9P sounds like a great idea.
