pinwheel kitty cat quilt
I started this quilt last year for a friend who is a 6+ year survivor of pancreatic cancer. We thought we were going to lose her last year. I lost interest in working on it because I didn't think I'd be able to finish it before she left us. She made a miraculous recovery and is doing very well today (considering all her health issues). So I finally got the binding sewn on a couple of weeks ago and gave it to her Tuesday. She's always loved cats and blue is her favorite color. As you can tell from the smile, she loves her quilt. She called me Wednesday to tell me she slept under it Tuesday night and it was very warm and comfy.

What's even more impressive is that 6 years ago, the doctors gave her a 25% chance of surviving the surgery. We've always said that, like a cat, she has nine lives

The cat block itself is not unique. I've seen it before. But I drew it up in EQ6 to size it so I could get 2 cats from one fat-eighth (since I started with a pack of those that I had purchased from Keepsake Quilting). Then I just put 4 cat blocks together and rotated them to create the pinwheel look
