I just finished a quilt top made with very silly cat fabric...

I found this great but silly cat fabric at a LQS that was going out of business (:(). The fabric is so busy that I struggled trying to figure out how to make it not hurt my eyes. I think this works for that. I am not sure if it is a real pattern. I just cut 6 1/2 inch squares of the focus fabric and then cut 2 1/2 inch strips of two different fabrics to put around the focus fabric.

I am attaching two pictures. One is of the overall quilt and the other is a close up of the silly cat fabric. It is kind of a fun quilt, and it was certainly easy to make.

I think that is a potato chip quilt. They are easy & look really nice made up. Looks great ! Happy Mothers Day tomorrow

I tried to get Hot Rod out of the picture, but he was pretty settled on my chair, and my sewing room isn't large enough to put the chair out of the way AND back up to get a picture. :) In fact, I figured out that the king sized quilt I just made is larger than this room! Doesn't matter, this room is just right for my quilt inspector and me to make quilts. :)

I think the pattern goes very well with the fabric. Cute kitties!

Very cute. :)

cathyvv 05-09-2015 08:27 PM

That is a really cute quilt! Perfect solution for a busy, cute fabric. And, yes, it is a real pattern.

earthwalker 05-09-2015 08:41 PM

Cool design, really works with the fabric. Great quilt.

FabQuilter 05-09-2015 08:46 PM

Mega cute fabric!!! Good choice of quilt pattern to show it off.

Silly cats make a purrfect quilt.

WMUTeach 05-10-2015 02:54 AM

Cool, Kitties! Like you thoughts on the busy fabric and your solution is a good one. It also forces the eye to look closely at the unique poses of the kitties!

DianneK 05-10-2015 03:25 AM

what fun fabric, love their expressions

QuiltMom2 05-10-2015 03:30 AM

I love the cats, the love of my granddaughter's life is an orange long hair kitty who is very vocal and I think I spy him on your fabric! Great quilt.

just joan 05-10-2015 03:44 AM

Your cats made me smile. I also like the quilt.

Yooper32 05-10-2015 03:50 AM

Thanks for bringing a smile to my face. Who wouldn't just love that quilt.

soozieQ 05-10-2015 04:22 AM

It looks great you did just the right thing with this fabric.You can't go wrong with cats.

twinkie 05-10-2015 04:35 AM

Very nice looking quilt. I love how you alternated the border around the focus fabric

Dina 05-10-2015 05:11 AM

Thanks for enjoying my silly cat quilt. :)

Cute quilt. Turned out super. BrendaK

IrishgalfromNJ 05-10-2015 05:18 AM

I love your quilt and you are right, that cat fabric is silly, just like cats. Nice job.

ManiacQuilter2 05-10-2015 05:57 AM

Great fabric to use with that pattern. Hope your cat just wanted a better position to look at the quilt rather than using it as a scratching post!! :)

Oh, I like that too!

Clarice29 05-10-2015 06:47 AM

It's wonderful!

rjwilder 05-10-2015 07:16 AM

I love cats and your quilt just put a big smile on my face. I think Hot Rod is thinking he's going to get off that little purple one on the chair and get the big one you just made. We have a cat quilt on top of our comforter to keep Tiger's hair off of it. Well that idea didn't work. He somehow manages to get under his quilt and takes a big nap everyday on the comforter all snuggly under his quilt.
