What a wonderful idea! It has to feel just so comfy and warm. I am not familiar with the poly pellets and I was wondering how the quilt would be laundered?

very carefully and handwashed. I don't trust those poly pellets. they break tons of needles even if you are careful about the stitching.

answering [ how can it be laundered?]

Very nice quilt and very nice cat. I have one just like it--cat that is, not quilt.

In my opinion, all quilts should be weighted with a cat! That is one of my best ways to sleep.

There is nothing like a well placed cat! Lovely quilt.

I made one for my 3 yr old grandson who has some sensory issues. He loves it and won't go to bed without his Cars blanket. Helps him sleep thru the night too. Time consuming to make but well worth it.
