You could also just cut large squares from each fabric, put sashing around each one, and put those together.
Or you could also just cut large squares from each fabric and alternate them with plain (or subdued/tonal) fabrics. |
Thank you all so much. I'm getting excited about making this quilt! I was somehow dropped off the mailing list for this group and finally found it again. I'd forgotten just how nice everyone is.

The snowball pattern would give you a block which could be any size to fit your kitty pictures.

I made a recersible quilt with my cat fabrics. Required cutting strips much like a string quilt. I used the smaller prints for this, so if your prints are larger, you can do this with your scraps.

Quiltaddict That quilt is darling. When I have fabrics I can't bare to cut I put borders around it to enlarge it and finish it up. I have some dog and cat fabrics and a few more I need to get done.

A snowball block is great if you don't want to cut your feature fabric up to much.
|
I, too, have been collecting cat fabrics for my daughter. One of my favorites that I made was a 9 Patch Pizazz.
|
I made a cat themed quilt for my husband's grandmother; I just used simple 6" blocks. BUT, it was one of my first quilts and I didn't have the confidence to try anything more complex. I love that attic window quilt with the fussy-cut kitties. Darling!

IMHO, any showcasing format, such as attic windows or the center of a 8 point star would be a good idea, as mentioned by others here.
