Haven't made a pad for the cat but put a half yd piece of fleece at the foot of my bed and the two cats take turns on who is going to sleep with me on the fleece. Mine is just a piece with cats all over it. I know your Mom's cat will love it and I like the idea of the soft (fleece) as a trim. They do like to knead the soft stuff. Sometimes they even do it in their sleep.

My cat loves to sit on my wip all the time. I should make him his own, but then he wants what ever you have... so actually all the quilts are his :D

I would do a dark blue tone on tone, a medium blue tone on tone, and a white and blue print (the center square). Doing a D9P in these would be very striking!

here is a picture of a D9P WIP all done in black and red. I think I'm going to love it when it's done.

Mom doesn't really like quilts, so this is as close as I can get to getting to make Mom a quit. :) (So why do I take my quilts to show to her??? Don't have an answer for that...hoping she will really like one, I guess.)
Just because your mom doesn't like quilts for 'her' doesn't mean she can't be proud of what her darling daughter accomplishes and enjoy the show and tell!

Shades of blue would be wonderful ... you can get blue so light it's almost white if you have a hankering to put white in it.

I made a 9 patch with a snowball block in between; had 9 different fabrics for the patch, just varied their location, the snowball with green with a darker green in corner which was also a border. Don't have a photo, but it's very pleasing color-wise

This sounds like a great quilt! Can't wait to see it done.
