My sister and I have been talking about making this quilt for years. We recently rediscovered the pamphlet where we saw the pattern originally,(circa 1991) but now are reminded that the pattern isn't there; just a short review of the book where the pattern can be found. What to do? Ask my quilting buddies for help...The pattern is"Brown Cats" from Quilts To Share by Janet Kime. No publication date but it's probably 1991. The photo is the cover of the pamphlet and the pattern in question. It's simple and I'm sure we could make a template easily enough, but we would like the pattern if we can find it. Thanks to one and all for any input you can offer

A lot of the fabric companies that post free patterns, delete them once the fabric lines have been discontinued. (Probably so that they don't get bombarded with questions from people who are still trying to find the fabric.) 'Cause you know, even though the fabrics are no longer available, the pattern may still be very usable! |
A scrappy cat quilt is on my To Do list as well - I will be using this pattern but without the 10" by 2" strip on the side.

This pattern looks like it would be easy enough to duplicate. It looks like it's just squares and half-square triangles. Try it on a sheet of grid paper.

Thanks for all these ideas. Sure, I like cats, but I have basenjis, known as the dog for people who like cats.
I have a folder on my computer titled 'Basenji maybe' and it contains many many cat patterns. All I have to do is change the tail to a curly one, and I have a basenji! |
I am so bad. I had to go buy this book. I got it on ebay for less than $4.00. I love cat quilts even though I am a dog owner. I do have an old orange tabby cat.

And I just bought Quilts to Share for $1.00 on Amazon. That is the book I think I will love!! I don't own a lot of books. Just started buying them recently. I have some my dear sister left me when she died, but they are very old. I have less than 10 books that I have bought. I know a lot of you own quite a few books and I think it's a good thing to have quilt books. So, I'm starting my collection slowly but surely.

Great Cat post!
