Ok , I have to admit that my mother would love it! Mom, and my aunts and even my grandmother, (when she was alive) all love those kind of juvenile fabrics. maybe a second childhood thing or something but I was always amazed cause I would have thought it was too young too!

I, too, think it's a bit young for your mom's friend. There are some great sites for cat fabrics, though. Good luck with it.
this one has a ton of fabrics

I love Laurel Burch's Fanciful Felines line and just might get some of that along with Michael Miller's Christmad Cats. Hmm, I may need to make quilts for my two feline assistants?

Hi there, its a beautiful quilt, but I am inclined to agree with the others.

i found a great cat quilt for a friend of mine who is daft on cats as well, now let me find where it was and i will send it to you. think you will like it. Got cats with faces. really cute.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the great sites! I'm leaning toward the Laurel Burch, because they're so colorful and so cute, without being juvenile at all--in fact, I think they're kind of sophisticated! I'll post a photo when I finish!

Your quilt is beautiful. You did a wonderful job on it. I can't wait to see the next one. :)

First of all...the quilt is absolutely adorable. But, before I could say if it were too juvenile for an elderly woman...I'd have to know the woman. Hopefully, yes it is much better suited for a baby or toddler. I do know some elderly ladies that are in the throws of dementia and alzheimer's that would be tickled silly with it!! Maybe you could donate it to an alzheimer's day care center or hospice or something.

I think it depends on the reciepant. It sure is cute.

Excellent point, Lisa. Many of the alzheimer's patients I know wouldn't go anywhere without their stuffed animals and would be just like Linus with that kitty quilt for sure!

Thank you again for all your opinions and your help. I've ordered some Laurel Burch fabrics, and I can't wait until they get here. This is going to be a VERY colorful quilt--and no pastels! I think it will suit my friend's personality much better. And in the meantime, I have a perfectly good baby girl quilt waiting for whenever--it needs only to be quilted!

Good deal Harmony!! Always good to be prepared huh!! :thumbup:
